help Azure Migrate FAQ

Can Azure Migrate help me assess my servers before moving them to the cloud?

Yes, Azure Migrate provides a centralized hub that assesses your on-premises servers, including VMware virtual machines, for cloud readiness. It calculates cost estimates and performance bottlenecks before you commit to the migration.

Does Azure Migrate support migrating physical servers, or only virtual machines?

While it is heavily optimized for VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines, Azure Migrate also includes tools to migrate physical servers. Additionally, it can handle database migrations and web application moves to Azure App Service.

How does Azure Migrate handle the actual transfer of VMware data to the cloud?

The service uses a specialized appliance deployed in your VMware environment to securely replicate the virtual machine disks to Azure. Once the initial replication is complete, Azure Migrate orchestrates a cutover to bring the new Azure VM online.
