Run your VMware platform and workloads today in the cloud without needing to re-architect applications and gain the continuity, scale, and fast provisioning for your VMware workloads on global Azure infrastructure.
Unmatched cost savings for Microsoft customers
AVS provides the most cost-effective way to run Windows Server and SQL Server on VMware. Reduce datacenter costs with benefits available to Microsoft customers. Save by bringing existing licenses to Azure, lock in pricing for predictable workloads and protect older Windows Server and SQL Server workloads in Azure at no cost.
Accelerate the journey to cloud, at your pace
AVS provides the path forward to move to the cloud on your terms. Gain the choice and flexibility to determine what workloads to migrate and the right time to migrate them. With platform symmetry, you have the control to transform based on your cloud journey.
Application modernization, development, and testing
You can extend and run existing VMware workloads from on-premises environments to the cloud while avoiding the costs, risks, and time commitment of re-architecting applications. AVS enables you to seamlessly modernize existing solutions and bring new solutions to life by refactoring apps and workloads.
Datacenter consolidation
Reduce, retire, or consolidate your datacenter footprint with a one-time redeployment of your VMware-based virtual machines. Lift and shift any vSphere-based workloads to Azure in a nondisruptive, automated, scalable, and highly available way without changing the underlying vSphere hypervisor.
