With recent changes in the VMware landscape, many organizations are rethinking their strategy. Uncertainty around licensing models, increased costs, and reduced flexibility have left IT leaders searching for a smarter alternative—without disrupting the tools, skills, and workflows they rely on.

Azure VMware Solution (AVS) is a Microsoft service that allows you to run your existing VMware workloads natively in Azure—without the need to rearchitect applications or retrain your team. It delivers a dedicated, private cloud environment built on VMware technologies like vSphere, vSAN, and NSX, fully integrated with the Azure ecosystem.

For organizations looking to reduce datacenter costs or facing new challenges with VMware’s evolving roadmap, AVS provides a powerful alternative that bridges the best of both worlds: the familiarity and control of VMware with the scalability, performance, and innovation of Azure.
