Azure VMware Solution provides a unified VMware Software-Defined Data Center (private cloud) integrating VMware vSphere (vCenter Server and ESXi), vSAN, and NSX-T virtualization technologies. VMware HCX, a workload mobility platform designed to simplify migrations to the cloud, is also included.
Customers run the Azure VMware Solution private cloud natively on dedicated bare-metal Azure infrastructure and capitalize on existing VMware investments, skills, and tools. This also allows for operational consistency that leverages the scale, performance, and innovation of Azure.
Today, we are happy to introduce the Azure VMware Solution Logical Design Poster for Deployment and Connectivity. The poster size is 32” x 48” (81 x 122 cm) and showcases the connectivity between the on-premises data center, Azure Cloud, and Azure VMware Solution.
