T-Systems expands expertise by offering Microsoft Azure VMware Solution

"Microsoft Azure VMware Solution allows you to easily move your on-premise VMware environment to our public cloud and modernize your applications. With the managed services of our partner, T-Systems, your IT will be more secure and agile to respond to future business challenges," affirmed Thorsten Herrmann, General Manager Enterprise Commercial, Microsoft GmbH. 

Azure VMware Solution is an Azure service from Microsoft, bringing VMware-based environments to Azure without major changes. Microsoft provides the management systems, network services, operating platform, and back-end infrastructure necessary to run native VMware environments at scale on Azure. For customers looking for a partner with deep migration expertise, management, and operational competence in public cloud environments, T-Systems is one of the leading players.  

For the implementation of the Azure VMware Solution, two critical forces come together - VMware experts on the customer side and T-Systems experts with their proficiency in migration, management, and operation of the Azure cloud environment. In addition to the Azure toolset, T-Systems’ Managed Cloud Services on Azure, and Azure VMware Solution offer services such as access, integration, billing, update and backup management, SLA monitoring, and price advantages that the Magenta brand receives for being a certified Microsoft Gold Partner with the SAP on Azure Advanced Specialization.

The offering under T-Systems’ Managed Cloud Services enables customers to seamlessly integrate their VMware environment with Azure and reap the following benefits: 

• Avoid major adjustments on apps hosted on VMware after a migration, thereby reducing possible effects on existing processes (use of employees and skills of the existing customer environment)
• Relieve their teams in the area of hardware purchasing and management
• Continue to serve their critical and core workloads via the vCenter
• Exercise full use of the services of Azure by integrating with a native Azure service and a well-managed environment (Managed Cloud Service for Azure)
