VMware Migration to Azure VMware Solution (AVS)

Organizations are reevaluating their VMware strategy due to rising operational costs, licensing changes, security requirements, and increasing pressure to modernize IT infrastructure. Zones helps organizations migrate VMware workloads to Azure VMware Solution (AVS), enabling a faster path to Azure while minimizing disruption to business operations.

Azure VMware Solution is a Microsoft-managed service that runs VMware Cloud Foundation natively on Azure. It enables organizations to migrate VMware environments as-is without application refactoring, while continuing to use familiar VMware technologies including vSphere, vSAN, NSX, HCX, and Aria.

With Zones, customers can: • Migrate VMware workloads to Azure with minimal downtime. • Move applications without code changes or re-architecting. • Retain existing VMware skills, processes, and operational tools. • Reduce datacenter footprint and operational overhead. • Manage workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud environments with Azure Arc. • Optimize costs through Azure Hybrid Benefit, Reserved Instances, and existing Microsoft licensing investments. • Establish a roadmap for Azure-native modernization and innovation.

Zones provides end-to-end assessment, migration, modernization, and managed services to support every stage of the VMware-to-Azure journey. Using a structured migration approach, we help organizations assess their VMware estate, design an Azure VMware Solution environment, execute migrations using VMware HCX, and optimize operations after migration. Whether your goal is to reduce infrastructure costs, accelerate cloud adoption, extend VMware investments, or create a foundation for future modernization, Zones delivers the expertise and services required to successfully migrate VMware workloads to Azure VMware Solution.
