Simplify Your Cloud Migration Journey with Azure Migrate
Streamlining the Migration to Azure
Azure Migrate provides a comprehensive solution to simplify your journey to the cloud. This powerful service offers a range of tools and capabilities to help you assess, migrate, and modernize your on-premises infrastructure, data, and applications.
Unified Migration Platform
Azure Migrate acts as a single portal to start, run, and track your migration to Azure. It provides a seamless experience, allowing you to manage the entire migration process from a centralized location.
Diverse Tool Integration
The Azure Migrate hub integrates with a variety of assessment and migration tools, including Azure’s own offerings as well as solutions from independent software vendors (ISVs). This extensible framework expands the scope of supported use cases, giving you the flexibility to choose the right tools for your specific needs.
Assessment, Migration, and Modernization
Within the Azure Migrate hub, you can assess, migrate, and modernize various components of your IT infrastructure:
- Servers, Databases, and Web Apps: Assess on-premises servers, including web apps and SQL Server instances, and migrate them to Azure.
- Databases: Assess on-premises SQL Server instances and databases, and migrate them to Azure SQL Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Managed Instances, or Azure SQL Database.
- Web Applications: Assess on-premises web applications and migrate them to Azure App Service or Azure Kubernetes Service.
- Virtual Desktops: Assess your on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and migrate it to Azure Virtual Desktop.
- Data: Migrate large amounts of data to Azure quickly and cost-effectively using Azure Data Box products.
Integrated Tools and ISV Integrations
The Azure Migrate hub includes a range of integrated tools, such as Azure Migrate: Discovery and Assessment, Migration and Modernization, Data Migration Assistant, and Azure Database Migration Service. It also integrates with various ISV offerings, providing you with a comprehensive set of solutions to address your migration needs.
Flexible Migration Approach
Azure Migrate supports a variety of migration scenarios, including on-premises VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, physical servers, and even VMs from other public clouds. The service offers both agentless and agent-based migration options, ensuring a seamless and efficient migration experience.
Versioning and Accessibility
Azure Migrate provides two versions of the service: the current version and the previous version (also known as classic Azure Migrate). While the classic version supports only assessment of on-premises VMware servers, the current version offers a more robust and expanded set of features. After February 2024, the classic version will be retired, and you’ll need to create a new project in the current version to continue your migration journey.
Simplify Your Cloud Migration with Azure Migrate
Azure Migrate’s comprehensive approach to assessment, migration, and modernization empowers you to streamline your journey to the cloud. By leveraging the unified platform, diverse tool integrations, and flexible migration options, you can confidently navigate the complexities of cloud adoption and unlock the full potential of Azure.
