HCLTech Azure VMware Solution : 4-Weeks Migration Implementation

With the Azure VMware Solution (AVS), customers can seamlessly move their VMware-based workloads from its datacenter to Azure and integrate the VMware environment with Azure.

1. AVS is a Microsoft service, verified by VMware, that runs on Azure infrastructure.
2. AVS journey helps client increases productivity with elasticity, scale, and fast provisioning cycles.
3. It allows to create vSphere VMs in the Azure portal via API calls or CLI, automate deployments.
4. It help enhance workloads with full range of Azure compute, monitor, backup, database, IoT & AI services.
5. It helps client manage its existing environments with the familiar VMware tools, while allowing to modernize its applications with Azure native services.

HCLTech's AVS Migration Journey is spread across 6 phases viz Strategy, Plan, Ready, Adopt, Govern and Manage as defined in Microsoft's CAF.

Here are some relevant instances where the Azure VMware solution can be utilized to maximize business outcomes:

• Cloud extension and cloud bursting • Automation and agile infra with cloud capabilities • Lift-and-shift of high total cost of ownership (TCO) workloads to avail benefits of cloud economics • Application modernization leveraging microservices, DevOps, and containers • Elevate non-compliance challenges • End-of-life workloads migration • Mitigation of capacity bursting • Disaster recovery enablement • DC exit strategy

Flexible Solution to Suit Business needs • Bring Your Own License (BYOL) for Microsoft and VMware products • Retention and utilization of existing VMware skill sets • Direct access to native Azure Cloud capabilities such as AI/ML, DevOps toolchains, and storage, etc. • Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and better Return on Investment (ROI)

Enterprise grade capabilities for applications • Highly secure and accessible • Increased employee productivity with improved accessibility • Agile operating model that employs DevSecOps and SRE principles with operational efficiencies • No extra cost, effort, or risk associated with re-architecting applications and re-tooling operation

Future proofing the cloud journey • Cloud-ready solution powered by Azure Public cloud infrastructure and services • Bidirectional cloud transformation from on-premises to AVS for a true hybrid cloud experience • Single support pane from Microsoft to eliminate multi-vendor complexity • Highly secure and accessible • Increased employee productivity with improved accessibility • Agile operating model that employs DevSecOps and SRE principles with operational efficiencies • No extra cost, effort, or risk associated with re-architecting applications and re-tooling operations
