Contact salesStart 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
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
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
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
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. We guide you through every phase, from discovery to pilot migration, using Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption and Well-Architected Frameworks. You’ll come away with a production-ready AVS landing zone, cost optimization strategies, and a migration approach tailored to your business.
Outcomes You Can Expect: Faster time to value with validated workloads in Azure, reduced operating costs through right-sized resources and Azure Hybrid Benefit, stronger security via RBAC and encryption, and real-time visibility into performance and spend using Azure Monitor and Policy.
