As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, one question looms large for many organizations: How do we best manage our VMware workloads? Should we keep them on-premises or make the leap to the cloud? These decisions require thoughtful consideration of time, resources, and long-term strategy. Let’s explore how Azure VMware Solution (AVS) can be your trusted companion on this transformative journey.
The Power of Azure VMware Solution

The best part? You can move your VMware workloads to Azure “as is,” minimizing the need for refactoring. Your familiar skills remain relevant while you learn new Azure ones.
Real-World Success Stories
Take the State of Alaska, for instance. They migrated 1,200 servers and 700 applications to Azure in less than three months. Their unique challenges—due to size and geography—were met head-on. Centralizing applications and data on Azure improved resiliency, security, and data transparency for Alaskan citizens.
Knorr-Bremse, a global manufacturing firm based in Germany, also embraced the cloud. They utilized Azure Migrate and Modernize to facilitate their transition. The result? Efficiently running workloads using Azure VMware Solution alongside other Azure services.
