What You’ll Learn, Build & Launch

1. Assess & Strategize

Start with clarity. Using Azure Migrate and the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, we help you inventory workloads, map dependencies, and align your migration strategy to business objectives. This phase eliminates guesswork and sets the stage for a successful migration.

Key Deliverables: Discovery and dependency mapping, business-aligned migration strategy (Microsoft’s 7Rs), cloud readiness insights

2. Deploy Azure VMware Solution (AVS)

Extend or migrate your VMware environment into Azure with minimal disruption. AVS enables you to continue using vSphere, vSAN, and HCX while taking advantage of Azure-native scalability, security, and global reach.

Key Deliverables: AVS landing zone setup with networking and identity, policy-driven governance foundation, secure ExpressRoute or VPN connectivity plan

3. Migrate with Confidence

Execute pilot migration waves using replication, test cutovers, and validation. We ensure your teams are hands-on with tools and processes to de-risk the move and deliver production-ready outcomes.

Key Deliverables: Pilot migration wave execution, cutover testing and validation, live workload readiness in Azure

4. Optimize& Govern

With your workloads live, we shift focus to long-term success. Using the Azure Well-Architected Framework, we implement best practices for cost control, performance, and security. You gain real-time visibility and sustainable operations.

Key Deliverables: Azure Monitor, Policy, and Defender configuration, cost optimization and resource right-sizing roadmap, post-migration governance and continuous improvement plan

WHY BUSINESSES CHOOSE HYPERSHIFT FOR MIGRATION WORKSHOPS

Modernizing your VMware environment with Azure isn’t just about getting out of the data center, it’s about unlocking flexibility, improving security, and setting your organization up for long-term success. With rising licensing costs and aging infrastructure, many organizations are turning to Azure for its scalability, global reach, and native governance features.

Hypershift’s VMware to Azure Migration Workshop delivers more than a roadmap.

Performance Enhancement: Optimized Efficiency & Performance

60%+ of Azure workloads are not right-sized or updated to current business and technology needs, creating 30-50%+ excess capabilities that are not utilized.

Eliminate unutilized or out-of-date capabilities, with systematic updates driven by business needs, supported by automated monitoring.

Why Azure Performance Enhancement with Hypershift?

Our performance enhancement strategies involve the development of ongoing monitoring and needs alignment. We’ll help you create a high-performance environment with an intense focus on removing waste.

Our Time-Tested Approach:

    • Baseline Evaluation: Create comprehensive monitoring, benchmark key metrics, identify bottlenecks, latency areas, and dependencies.
    • Optimization Implementation: Right-size resources based on ongoing utilization patterns.
    • Testing, Monitoring & Governance: Establish performance dashboard, covering testing, policy update processes and workload monitoring.

Azure Security and Compliance Assessment: Is Your Azure Environment Secure?

Let’s Find Out.

80%+ of Azure security configurations are not aligned to best practices during the planning process, spanning security groups, permissions, and storage.

Proactively detect, contain, and eliminate vulnerabilities before they become threats.

Hypershift Azure Security Assessment

With no abatement to cyber risks, ensuring a secure Azure environment is critical. Hypershift’s security assessment identifies gaps, fixes inefficiencies, and most of all – strengthens your defenses against current and emerging risks.

Our Time-Tested Approach:

    • Threat Analysis: Identify security risks in real-time.
    • Compliance Review: Ensure adherence to industry standards.
    • Actionable Recommendations: Get a roadmap to secure Azure.

Azure Cost Optimization: Gain Savings by Eliminating Waste

Many organizations are overspending up to 30% on their cloud environments, due to planning gaps and idle or underutilized resources, spanning VM, storage, and/or no shut-down policies for development and testing environments.

Gain clarity on your cloud spend and uncover hidden savings.

Are You Overspending on Azure?

We have found that most organizations waste up to 30% of their cloud budget on unnecessary resources. Our Azure Cost Analysis identifies inefficiencies, optimizes workloads, and ensures cost-effective scaling without sacrificing performance.

Our Time-Tested Approach:

    • Identify Waste: Detect unused and underutilized resources.
    • Optimize Performance: Reduce costs without impacting efficiency.
    • Budget Forecasting: Gain visibility into future spending.
    • Rightsizing & Automation: Implement auto-scaling and cost-effective compute instances.
