Proven VCF to Azure Migrations — Senior Engineers, Fixed Scope
Yes, moving VMware Cloud Foundation to Microsoft Azure (Native IaaS) is a well-understood project. Our senior engineers replatform your workloads to Native Azure VMs and managed SQL — with zero downtime during
The lowest-cost way off VMware Cloud Foundation: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support VMware Cloud Foundation → Microsoft Azure (Native IaaS) after migration
- ✓Fixed scope — no surprise overruns or hidden fees.
- ✓Senior platform engineers lead every migration phase.
- ✓Maintain on-premises VCF during transition — zero downtime.
- ✓Move beyond the hypervisor tax to Native Azure VMs.
- ✓Shift CAPEX to OPEX with predictable project budgets.
IP lock-in
Hardcoded on-premises IP dependencies make lift-and-shift risky — but you can’t afford to re-architect everything from scratch.
Complex clustering
Legacy clustering (WSFC, Oracle RAC) with raw device maps seems impossible to replicate in Azure without re-engineering.
Rising costs, tight deadlines
Enterprise Agreement renewals and Broadcom pricing escalations push you to move — but you can’t risk downtime during transition.
VMware Cloud Foundation → Microsoft Azure (Native IaaS) migration — your questions answered
How exactly do you handle a VCF to Azure migration?+
We migrate virtual machines to Native Azure IaaS (VMs and managed SQL) and replatform workloads to reduce dependency on VMware-specific features. The project runs 5–10 months with 3–6 senior engineers — fixed scope, no hidden stages.
Can we keep our current on-premises VCF setup running while we migrate?+
Yes. We maintain your on-premises VCF environment under vendor support (as long as your contract is active) during the entire transition. You control the cutover timeline — no forced big-bang move. If your renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform.
What about our legacy IP dependencies and clustering (WSFC/Oracle RAC)?+
We handle hardcoded IP dependencies and legacy clustering (WSFC, Oracle RAC, RDM) during the assessment phase. Our engineers design a Native Azure network and storage architecture that mirrors or improves your existing setup — no re-engineering on your side.
What does the migration assessment include?+
The assessment identifies application dependencies, network re-IP requirements, and operational blockers. Most healthcare and banking clients have a clear migration path within 2–3 weeks. We also check for integration points with physical on-premises appliances and plan the transition.
Ready to Move Beyond the Hypervisor Tax?
Post-migration, keep your Cloud environment optimized with our Azure Managed Services. We handle automated resource scaling, Cloud governance, and cost analytics — so your team focuses on innovation, not operations. Many clients see 40–70% savings vs. vendor support renewals on the legacy platform while they plan the move. Up to $500,000/year in some cases.
