Azure Migrate
Simplify Azure migration and modernization with a unified platform.
Take a unified approach to cloud migration and modernization
Start your migration by discovering and assessing on-premises resources using the free Azure Migrate tool. Then plan your move with technical and business insights into infrastructure, databases, and applications. Migrate to Azure in phases and modernize for faster innovation and a higher return on investment (ROI). Track and manage your cloud migration progress using a central dashboard for ease of management.
Get started
Creating an Azure account helps you begin your Azure Migrate project.
Deploy and connect
After you download and deploy the appropriate appliance in your environment, connect it with your management center and your Azure account.
Discover and Assess
Azure Migrate discovery gathers relevant details and enables you to assess for insights before moving to Azure.
Map your environment and create a business proposal with insights
Easily identify and gather details on your infrastructure, databases, applications, and virtual desktop interfaces (VDI). Map dependencies and estimate cost for various scenarios in Azure. Use the insights gathered to create a business proposal to help make the case to move to Azure.
Create a plan to move on your terms, securely and iteratively
Assess the readiness of your on-premises resources to migrate, and right-size for optimal performance and cost in Azure. Create a plan with a phased approach (that is, moving in waves), where all connected resources migrate together for ideal performance.
Migrate at optimal cost and realize increased innovation
Move to Azure in waves and monitor progress on the central dashboard. Use the flexibility and extensibility of Azure Migrate with supported third-party tools for all your IaaS and PaaS needs. Test resources in Azure prior to decommissioning on-premises assets, then manage your IT resources for optimal cost and peak innovation through modernization.
