What does VMware really cost us, and is Azure the answer?
VMware to Azure assessment
The true cost of staying with VMware, or moving to Azure VMware Solution.
In short
What is a VMware to Azure assessment?
A VMware to Azure assessment compares the full cost of staying with VMware against moving to Azure VMware Solution (AVS). It covers total cost of ownership, sizing and licence savings, and gives you a business case before your renewal.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to move to Azure VMware Solution?
No. The business case covers moving and staying, with the assumptions shown, so you can decide before your renewal.
What does an assessment cost?
Each assessment is a fixed price of £999, agreed before we start. There is no hourly billing.
How long does an assessment take?
4 to 6 weeks. Your team's time is limited to a scoping conversation and giving us read-only access to the relevant environment.
Will you change anything in our systems?
No. Access is read-only during the assessment. We look before we touch, and any changes happen only if you later decide to act on the findings.
Do we keep the report?
Yes. The findings, cost view and roadmap are yours to use, whether you act on them with us, with another supplier or in-house.
