A Comprehensive Guide to Azure Migrate- Simplifying Your Cloud Journey
Azure Migrate is a powerful service that streamlines your migration, modernization, and optimization journey to the cloud. Whether you’re looking to assess and migrate servers, databases, web apps, or virtual desktops, Azure Migrate provides a unified platform to get the job done efficiently.
Unified Migration Platform
At the heart of Azure Migrate is a single portal that allows you to start, run, and track your migration to Azure. This centralized approach helps you stay on top of your cloud transformation efforts, regardless of the complexity or scale of your on-premises infrastructure.
Robust Assessment and Migration Tools
Azure Migrate offers a range of tools to assess and migrate your on-premises workloads. The Azure Migrate: Discovery and Assessment tool helps you understand the Azure readiness, sizing, and cost implications of your servers, SQL Servers, and web apps. The Migration and Modernization tool, on the other hand, simplifies the process of moving your VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, physical servers, and even public cloud VMs to Azure.
Expanded Capabilities with ISV Integrations
Azure Migrate’s extensible framework allows for seamless integration with a wide range of third-party tools and services. Partners like Carbonite, Cloudamize, and Corent Technology extend the platform’s capabilities, empowering you to tackle even the most complex migration scenarios with confidence.
Navigating the Azure Migrate Versions
It’s important to note that Azure Migrate comes in two versions: the current version and the previous (classic) version. The current version offers the most up-to-date features and capabilities, while the classic version is being retired in February 2024. If you have existing projects in the classic version, you’ll need to create a new project in the current version and add the necessary assessment and migration tools.
