AVS: The Seamless Cloud Transition Enterprises Were Waiting For?
AVS is a revelation for businesses operating critical processes on legacy on-prem, powered by VMware technologies. Disruption of the on-prem core in a bid to move to cloud, might not be a realistic approach even though the latter is a necessity in the modern digital era. AVS allows businesses to seamlessly migrate their on-prem VMware assets and workloads to Azure without the re-architecting hassles. Organizations can leverage the VMware environment they know and are comfortable with, but on high availability Azure infrastructure. Certified AVS launch partners like Cloud4C help make the transition frictionless, rendering custom architectures and fully managed support for maximized business outcomes.
