Product Details

What is Azure VMware Solution?

Azure VMware Solution enables users to run VMware workloads natively on Azure. It is an Azure service to redeploy and extend VMware-based enterprise workloads to Azure, and provides the management systems, networking services, operating platform and backend infrastructure operations required to run native VMware environments at scale in Azure.

The user can move VMware-based workloads from the datacenter to Azure and integrate a VMware environment with Azure. This enables users to continue managing existing environments with the same VMware tools already in use while including Azure native services. Azure VMware Solution is a Microsoft service, verified by VMware, that runs on Azure infrastructure.

Microsoft offers node configurations based on core, memory, and storage requirements. The user can choose the type of node to suit an organization's needs. Users can take advantage of Reserved Instance purchase option for one or three years for price predictability.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We migrated the VMware infrastructure to the Azure environment.It was a change. Although all the lock and feel is the same as the VMware environment, it's now a Microsoft service.Since we have mainly virtualized Windows servers and processes, the changeover is not noticeable to the user.On the technical side, the points are different but manageable.
Pros and Cons
  • Provision of the container-based applications
  • Protection of multi-cloud and bare-metal environments
  • Easier access to features and editing your own dashboard
Likelihood to Recommend
Cloud-Native Applications: If you are building cloud-native applications that are designed to run on Azure, AVS may not be the best solution. In this case, you should consider using Azure-native services, such as Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or Azure Functions.Minimal Workloads: If you have a small number of workloads, it may not be cost-effective to use AVS. In this case, you can consider using Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) or other Azure services that are better suited for small workloads.Custom Hardware Configurations: If you require custom hardware configurations or specialized hardware, AVS may not be able to meet your requirements. In this case, you can consider using other Azure services, such as Azure Dedicated Hosts, that offer more flexibility in terms of hardware configurations.Cost-Sensitive Workloads: If you have cost-sensitive workloads, AVS may not be the best solution. While AVS offers many benefits, it can also be more expensive than other Azure services. In this case, you should consider using Azure services that are more cost-effective, such as Azure Virtual Machines.
Most Important Features
  • Seamless Integration: AVS provides a seamless integration between Azure and VMware environments, enabling you to easily extend your on-premises VMware workloads to Azure without the need to re-architect them
  • High Availability: AVS provides a highly available infrastructure for your VMware workloads, ensuring that they are always up and running
