More than just a lift-and-shift to the cloud, we talk about how running a secure and scalable SAP S/4HANA landscape on Azure enables an internal cultural shift that positively impacts customers, and we share how IT is leading this shift by bringing data, tools, and people together.

Extending the datacenter with VMware and Azure

VMware Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cloud Services Mark Lohmeyer and I talk through how we’ve come together to make things easier for customers—from migration to disaster recovery, networking, and more. Mark also shares what new services are coming soon to Azure VMware Solution so customers can migrate their on-premises environment without any application changes.
