You have choice. Azure VMware Solution (AVS) or Azure Native VMs.
Broadcom's recent acquisition of VMware has IT teams worried about product, licensing and pricing implications. As virtualization continues to evolve, it’s important to understand the key differences and benefits of virtualization options between VMware, Azure VMware Solution (AVS), and Azure Native VMs.
Mature with advanced networking, storage, and security features. Its flexibility and strong community support make it ideal for businesses needing tight control over virtual environments.
Dedicated platform for running VMware in Azure, combining VMware familiarity with Azure scalability. Ideal for businesses keeping VMware setups while benefiting from Azure cloud services.
Cloud platform offering services beyond virtualization like AI, analytics, and IoT. Great for businesses wanting full Azure integration, fast scaling, and broad cloud capabilities.
As businesses look beyond on-premises VMware—especially with rising fees—Microsoft Azure offers two strong options: Azure VMware Solution (AVS) and Azure Native VMs. Here's a quick comparison to help you choose.
Azure VMware Solution (AVS) allows you to run VMware workloads natively on Azure, enabling a seamless extension or migration from your on-premises environment. This lets organizations modernize their infrastructure without re-architecting applications or retraining IT staff.
Azure Native VMs migration involves re-architecting or refactoring your workloads to take full advantage of Azure’s platform services. This approach is ideal for organizations aiming to modernize legacy applications, improve performance, and reduce long-term operational costs.
Key services include Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure App Service, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
