Overall Satisfaction with Azure VMware Solution

Fast transition from on prem old server infrastructure to full cloud ready VMware solution. Optimizes labour cost and replaces old school on premises servers. This has improved our projected disaster recovery times and overall resiliency.

Pros

  • VMware compatibility
  • Licensing included
  • Dedicated bare metal host

Cons

  • Cost would be my number one
  • Hard to use - particularly setting up networking components which led to some instability at first
  • Downtime is reduced
  • Avoided lump sum investment to replace outdated server and network infrustructre
It feels good for our techs who already used VMware on prem. However, there was significant difficulty adjusting to a new networking model.

Best suited when existing on prem infrastructure going out of date/warranty and in need of big lump sun investment. Plus - predictable data recovery and backups. It is less appropriate for small business and light workloads (too expensive)
