Azure VMware Solution Offers VMware in Azure

Azure VMware Solution by CloudSimple is no longer offered by Microsoft.

Current Azure VMware Solution offerings are summarized in the Azure Roadmap.

• Azure VMware Solution by CloudSimple provides VMware hosting on dedicated bare-metal servers in Azure data centers.
• The offering is similar to renting managed servers and is not a pay-as-you-go service like Azure VMs.
• Customers who need to vacate on-premises data centers or require temporary VMware hosting capacity could find VMware Solution useful.
• VMware Solution costs and planning requirements can be considerable.

Azure VMware Solution by CloudSimple offers virtualization, storage, and networking for managed VMs using VMware software deployed on single-tenant infrastructure within Azure data centers. Unlike Microsoft’s Azure VMs service, which provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) hosting of VMs in a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) model, VMware Solution involves a monthly (or yearly or greater) commitment to pay for hosting infrastructure, VMware licensing, and management of the deployed environment. VMware Solution costs are charged regardless of utilization, and the service requires planning for network connectivity to Azure.
