Softchoice AVS Use Cases

AVS is the most practical cloud migration pathway for Windows and SQL Server workloads, as it supports VMware toolchains and integrates with the Azure ecosystem. It is suited for data center extension, infrastructure cost reduction and many other use cases, including:

AVS Pilot – Leverage AVS Pilot with white glove support from Microsoft to validate the needed scenarios and overcome perceived technical shortcomings. AVS Pilot provides 3 nodes, free for 30-day/720-hours. It is a demonstration, small scale and not fully functional, that is used to validate the benefits of deploying VMware in Azure.

Cloud Migration – Avoid infrastructure refreshes through cloud migration. Quickly stage cloud migrations in line with the infrastructure refresh by porting existing VMware workloads to the cloud, offsetting the need to invest in further physical hardware.

Disaster Recovery – Create DR sites for VMware-based workloads from the on-premises data center into Azure. Integrate and continue managing VMware operating environments with the same VMware tools your teams are already familiar with while modernizing applications using Azure native services.

Data Center Extention - Use cloud compute and storage to handle the increasing business needs or seasonal surges in demand. Provide high-quality service to your people without bearing the cost of infrastructure to cope with peak demand.
