Cloud anywhere:
Azure for hybrid and multicloud environments
32
For a successful hybrid approach,
organizations must have a consistent
solution that unifies management of
machines across physical and virtual
environments—and scales quickly.
Customers running VMware workloads
can now seamlessly run, manage, and
secure applications across VMware
environments and Microsoft Azure with
a common operating framework.
Example
A global health crisis causes rapid,
massive strain on a hospital's operations,
which are running on VMware. The hospital
needs to scale their IT infrastructure as
staffing increases test their HR, patient
management, and EMR systems—all while
remaining HIPAA-compliant and managing
recent budget cuts. The requisition process,
approvals, and logistics to roll out new
technical infrastructure can take 4–6
months or more. So, to maximize time
and resources as they expand and contract
their cloud-based systems, the hospital
will need to be able to use existing IT skills,
processes, and experience in VMware for
efficient deployment and ramp up.
Solution
Azure VMware Solution delivers the
infrastructure elasticity to expand and
contract without capital expenditure,
all while maintaining continuity for staff
and processes. Among other leading
industry standard certifications, the
solution is also fully HIPAA-compliant,
lowering barriers for adoption and
accelerating speed to the cloud.
Using Azure VMware Solution, the hospital
can scale quickly to meet the unexpected
demand on their IT systems. By extending
the hospital's current VMware environment
into Azure with Azure VMware Solution,
the hospital minimizes disruption with a
consistent management experience across
