Azure VMware Solution, a service that empowers you to utilize the VMware technology stack and team expertise in Azure, has made significant strides since its inception three years ago. Our commitment to global support is evident in our geographic expansion across 30 Azure regions, surpassing all other cloud providers. Our focus remains on enhancing this service and making impactful improvements to the product that align with our customers’ objectives of running VMware workloads efficiently and modernizing their applications.

As we bid farewell to 2023, we want to express our appreciation to our customers and partners. Their unwavering support and insightful feedback have been instrumental in refining our product and implementing meaningful enhancements throughout the year.

In this blog post, we highlight some of the key updates and features introduced this year, as well as some recent success stories of customers who have migrated to Azure:

Key Updates in 2023

Azure Elastic SAN (preview): Azure Elastic SAN is a cloud-native managed SAN offering scalability, cost-efficiency, high performance, and security. It now supports snapshots, enhanced security, and integrates with Azure VMware Solution. Furthermore, as a VMware Certified datastore, Elastic SAN allows you to independently scale your storage and performance, optimizing your total cost of ownership and scalability.

Stretched Clusters: Enhancing application availability, our Stretched Clusters ensure 99.99 percent uptime for mission-critical applications. They facilitate the deployment of Azure VMware Solution private clouds across two availability zones within an Azure region, ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery in the event of a zone failure.

AV64 SKU: With the introduction of the AV64 SKU, customers can now access a new node size for Azure VMware Solution in specific regions. The AV64 node is built on Intel Xeon Platinum 8370C CPUs with a total of 64 physical cores, 1 TB of memory and 15.4 TB of total storage. The AV64 SKU can be used for extending existing Azure VMware Solution private clouds built on AV36, AV36P, or AV52 node sizes, or for creating new private clouds with higher compute and storage capacity.

 Azure VMware Solution in Microsoft Azure Government: Meeting strict data location and security requirements, Azure VMware Solution has been approved to be added as a service within the Azure Government Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Provisional Authorization to Operate (P-ATO). This allows customers and partners requiring data sovereignty to meet FedRAMP requirements.

VMware Cloud Director service for enterprise: Now available for enterprise, our VMware Cloud Director service offers a multi-cloud control plane for managing multi-tenancy across various infrastructures. This service enables customers to provision and manage Azure VMware Solution private clouds and offer self-service capabilities to their end users.

Customer-managed keys: Enhancing security for mission-critical workloads, our customer-managed keys for Azure VMware Solution allow customers to use their own encryption keys, stored in Azure Key Vault, to encrypt and decrypt their data at rest.

Azure NetApp Files for Azure Government: The features of Azure NetApp Files (ANF) available on Azure public cloud are now supported in Azure Government regions. This enables U.S. government and public sector customers to create Network File System (NFS) datastores with ANF volumes and attach them to Azure VMware Solution (AVS) clusters. This allows these customers to expand their storage instead of scaling the clusters, which can lead to cost savings and improved performance.

Customer Success Stories with Azure VMware Solution

Home Trust Company: This Canadian financial services institution reaped significant benefits from migrating to Azure VMware Solution. The transition allowed them to leave behind their costly and resource-intensive cloud-hosted solution running VMware. They now enjoy improved performance, seamless scalability, cost savings, and ease of management with Microsoft handling necessary VMware updates and patches. The migration, involving more than 750 virtual machines, was completed in less than half a year, reducing operating costs, increasing reliability and resilience, and enabling faster product launches. Learn more

Netstar: Despite the potential complexities of cloud migration, Netstar successfully transitioned to Azure VMware Solution with zero downtime during their busiest month, December. This move not only offloaded risks associated with aging hardware but also resulted in financial savings. The cost of the move was only 25% of a hardware refresh, significantly reducing their total cost of ownership and eliminating additional expenses associated with on-premises solutions. Learn more

NeighborWorks America: Navigating the challenges of cloud migration, NeighborWorks America accomplished a swift transition to Azure VMware Solution in under three months. They worked with Microsoft experts to make data backups automatic, and the nonprofit’s apps now run in Azure. The move to the cloud saved NeighborWorks $300,000 in expenditure in less than a year, and the pay-for-what-you-use cloud service ensures the nonprofit does not spend more than it needs to. Learn more

We are proud of what we have achieved with Azure VMware Solution in 2023, but we are not stopping here.

We caught up with Toronto VMUG Leader, Mike Preston, at VMware Explore to ask him how VMUG has impacted him and his career development.  

Before VMUG, Mike never thought he would be able to publicly speak in front of people. Now, Mike works as a Technical Marketing Architect at Rubrik, a cloud data management and data security company where he is involved in public speaking, writing blogs, knowledge shares, and more!  

“I never really spoke in front of people much. As I went to more and more meetings, the local VMUG volunteer Leader asked that I share some of my stories. I agreed and realized that it’s not that scary and I like speaking in front of people,” said Mike. “I got more involved with speaking, writing blogs, knowledge sharing and realized that there are jobs where that is what you do, like a Technical Marketing Architect. Before VMUG I never thought I would be able to speak in front of people, and now it’s what I do for a living.”  

Mike has a tip for those who are interested in getting more involved in the VMUG community: just get up and tell your story! Every Leader has the opportunity to encourage members to give presentations, even if they are brief or PowerPoint free.  

“The more you talk about something you have struggled with or something you have fixed; the easier public speaking is going to be. You just have to get up there and try! VMUG wants to see you succeed.”

We are excited to share new enhancements to VMware Tanzu Transformer (formerly VMware Aria Migration). The new migration capabilities will be useful for VMware vSphere customers who want to migrate to AWS or VMware Cloud on AWS while using AI and Machine Learning. We are expanding our multi-cloud capabilities, including adding additional support for AWS and introducing simplified workflows for AWS and VMware Cloud on AWS that will revolutionize the way you discover, classify, and plan migrating applications to the cloud. These enhancements will increase app delivery velocity by making migration planning less fragmented and help you more easily present actual data to get approvals from the various lines of businesses required for successful application migration.

The new VMware Tanzu Transformer name in mentioned in this press release:

VMware Press release (VMware Expands Tanzu to Accelerate App Delivery at Enterprise Scale)

“VMware Tanzu Transformer increases (the) success of app migration and modernization initiatives with support for migration assessment and planning to VMware Clouds and public clouds with planning workflows. APIs for 3rd-party integrations are being released in beta.”

We’ve also simplified workflows for assessment, making it easier than ever to evaluate your infrastructure and plan your migration strategy using current Cloud Economics calculations. This capability can also look at bandwidth and egress cost analysis for that application migration strategy.

These new features result in faster business velocity, cost savings, better security, and improved performance when moving from the previous workload location to the future cloud location. With these enhancements, Tanzu Transformer is ready to support your journey to the cloud. All this extra information will help users collect the needed information to use with other VMWare tools, such as VMWare HCX, to execute the application migrations to VMware Cloud.
