Running VMware Natively on Azure
AVS Use Cases
 |
On-premises data center footprint reductionLift and shift any vSphere-based workloads to Azure in a non-disruptive, automated, scalable, and highly available manner without changing the underlying vSphere hypervisor. Reduce the risk of rearchitecting and eliminate future hardware refresh headaches and capacity limitations. |
 |
Data center expansion based on demandSeamlessly and elastically expand or augment data center capacity—and adjust your costs—on demand, via self-service provisioning. Reduce your up-front investment, accelerate speed of provisioning, and reduce complexity with the same architecture and policies across both on-premises and the cloud. |
 |
Disaster recovery and business continuityUse a VMware stack deployed in Azure as a primary or secondary on-demand disaster recovery site for on-premises data center infrastructure. VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) brings proven DR capabilities to AVS. SRM for AVS offers an intuitive and simplified experience for installation and lifecycle management of SRM, directly through the Azure portal. |
