Navigating the transition from VMware or Hyper-V Solutions to Microsoft Cloud Solutions

As organisations continually seek to optimise their IT infrastructure, many are exploring options to transition from traditional on premises, virtualised environments, such as VMware and Hyper-V environments to more modern, cloud-based solutions.

Microsoft offers a suite of robust alternatives, including Azure, Azure Stack HCI, and Azure VMware Solution (AVS), each providing unique advantages tailored to different business needs. Complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments can be managed from a single pane of glass using technologies such as Azure Arc. This white paper aims to guide Hyper-V and VMware customers through their exit options, helping them understand the benefits, considerations, and steps involved in transitioning to Microsoft’s hybrid cloud ecosystem.

The evolving landscape of IT infrastructure demands agility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. On Premises virtualisation technology has been a cornerstone of IT for years, but with the rise of cloud computing and hybrid solutions, many enterprises are reevaluating their current setups. Microsoft’s Azure, Azure Stack HCI, and AVS offer compelling pathways for organisations looking to modernise their infrastructure.

It should be also noted that cloud is now the ecosystem for innovation. Most ISVs now offer SaaS versions of key platforms, key vendors like Microsoft now innovate more with their cloud solutions in mind, rather than their on-premises equivalents, and AI, advanced data and analytics services are all based out of the cloud. The use of DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code can bring about automation and standardisation benefits, making organisations more efficient and able to do more with less.
