The next generation of Azure VMware Solution (AVS) is now generally available in US East, US West, West Europe and Australia, with more locations coming soon. This release delivers customers the latest VMware Cloud Foundation components (vSphere, NSX-T, HCX, vSAN and more), running on highly available, reliable Azure infrastructure. Azure VMware Solution provides seamless migration from customers’ on-premises deployments to the cloud, reducing complexity and helping ensure they can maintain operational consistency.
With this announcement we are also seeing great growth in our ecosystem of partner solutions. In addition to our own Microsoft solutions, AVS will support Backup solutions from Commvault, Veeam and Veritas. And we have been working closely with Zerto and JetStream to bring their DR capabilities to AVS too.
In a continued effort to create additional flexibility for customers, Azure VMware Solution now integrates with native Azure Migrate tools to enable customers to build AVS specific assessments for cloud migration. Furthermore, we heard from customers the importance of Replication Assisted vMotion (RAV) when transitioning to the cloud, and we are now pleased to offer VMware’s HCX Enterprise Edition, which includes RAV for large bulk migration when transitioning workloads to their Azure VMware Solution environments.
Seamlessly move VMware-based workloads from your datacenter to Azure and integrate your VMware environment with Azure. Keep managing your existing environments with the same VMware tools you already know while you modernize your applications with Azure native services. Azure VMware Solution is a Microsoft service, verified by VMware, that runs on Azure infrastructure.
