69 TopicsFast cloud migration, measurable ROI: Forrester Total Economic Impact study of Azure VMware Solution
Many organizations are balancing near-term continuity for VMware-based workloads with longer-term cloud modernization goals – all while managing cost, security, and resiliency. Azure VMware Solution (AVS) is built for this moment: a Microsoft-managed service verified by VMware that enables running VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) workloads (vSphere, NSX-T, vSAN, HCX) on dedicated Azure infrastructure. It gives organizations a practical way to move or extend VMware environments into Azure while maintaining operational consistency and leveraging the skills of existing VMware teams. To help leaders quantify the potential value of this approach, Microsoft commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct The Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) of Microsoft Azure VMware Solution (March 2026). The study models the financial impact over three years and risk-adjusts results. Access the full study here: aka.ms/AVS-TEI Here’s what the study found and how IT leaders can use it as a framework for decision-making: Topline results from the study Forrester’s risk-adjusted financial analysis for a composite organization 1 found: 341% ROI over three years 2 $5.6M net present value (NPV) 3 <6 months payback 4 These metrics are meaningful on their own, but the bigger story for leadership is where the value comes from: improved operational stability, reduced infrastructure costs driven by data center exit and hardware refresh avoidance, and the ability to redeploy skilled IT resources from maintenance to modernization. The customer journey: why organizations turn to AVS AVS offers a bridge: Lift and shift VMware workloads into Azure without forcing immediate re-platforming then, modernize at a pace aligned to business priorities. In the study, Forrester interviewed decision-makers with experience using AVS. Interviewees described common challenges that led them to invest in AVS, including: Fragmented systems that complicated and slowed operations: Inherited stacks, duplicated tools, and unclear ownership of orphan machines made operations and governance harder. Rising cost and complexity of on-premises operation: Colocation fees, energy and cooling costs, server refresh cycles, and tooling renewals were difficult to justify against cloud economics. Limited capacity and skills to refactor at scale: Teams wanted the cost and agility benefits of the cloud but didn’t have the time or skills to rewrite hundreds (or thousands) of VMs on aggressive timelines. Security and audit pressure: Disparate environments and legacy access models elevated risk and created audit friction. Operational variability and end-user experience: VPN dependencies, inconsistent remote tooling, and endpoint logistics led to slow first-call resolution and downtime risks. Three quantified benefits that drive the business case 1) Reduction in downtime and associated costs by 80% In the study, interviewees reported that moving VMware workloads to AVS improved day-to-day reliability by eliminating fragile on-premises workflows and leveraging Azure’s managed infrastructure. Examples included fewer VPN-related failures, faster issue resolution through centralized tooling, and stronger service-level performance. For leadership teams, this benefit is about more than avoided cost. Better up time protects customer experience, employee productivity, and reduces the operational noise that can slow modernization programs. 2) Reduced infrastructure costs through data center exit, refresh avoidance, and cleanup A second driver is the ability to avoid or eliminate significant portions of data center cost and refresh spend. In the study, interviewees described using AVS to close data centers, avoid upcoming hardware refresh cycles, and reduce ongoing capital and operating costs. Importantly, interviewees also reported that migration waves prompted additional savings through portfolio hygiene by validating each VM, decommissioning redundant systems, and rightsizing oversized workloads. Those actions helped organizations reduce their ongoing compute, storage, and licensing footprint after migration. 3) Redeployment of 50% of IT team members from maintenance to modernization The TEI study quantifies a practical advantage of a managed VMware environment in Azure: fewer hours spent on hardware lifecycle, cluster patching, upgrades, and other routine data center tasks. In practice, many leaders treat this as capacity created rather than budget eliminated: the opportunity to shift experienced engineers toward modernization, automation, cloud governance, proactive incident prevention, and higher-value business initiatives. Unquantified benefits organizations should weigh Beyond the quantified categories, the study also highlights benefits that are strategically important, but not fully quantified in the model: Acceleration of future modernization: With workloads running in Azure via AVS, organizations can integrate platform services across security, identity, data, and analytics and build a runway for new capabilities, including AI-driven scenarios in Azure. Fast, cost-effective migration of legacy workloads: Interviewees described avoiding major consulting or hiring costs that would have been required to refactor complex workloads into cloud-native designs. Improved audit readiness and security posture: Consolidating fragmented environments into governed Azure landing zones can simplify audit preparation and strengthen governance and monitoring. For many leadership teams, these benefits strengthen the business case because they support broader transformation outcomes that extend beyond infrastructure cost alone. Things to consider in your own decision process If you’re building a business case to move workloads to Azure, whether it be lifting and shifting to AVS or replatforming and refactoring to Azure IaaS and managed services, consider mapping your environment across these areas: Data center timelines: Refresh cycles, colocation exit deadlines, and contract constraints. Operating model readiness: How quickly teams can adopt cloud-native services versus preserving VMware operations during transition. Modernization roadmap: Determine which applications are candidates for investment in replatforming, refactoring, replacement, or retirement once in Azure.

ROI is calculated by dividing net benefits (benefits less costs) by costs. 3 Net present value (NPV): The present or current value of (discounted) future net cash flows given an interest rate (the discount rate). A positive project NPV normally indicates that the investment should be made unless other projects have higher NPVs. 4 Payback: The breakeven point for an investment. This is the point in time at which net benefits (benefits minus costs) equal initial investment or cost.Migrate & Modernize Your VMware Platform Using Azure VMware Solution Gen 2

Enjoy! 1 - Prerequisites 2 - DeploymentBroadcom VMware Licensing Changes: What Azure VMware Solution Customers Need to Know
Broadcom has announced changes are coming to its VMware licensing model on hyperscalers beginning in its new fiscal year on November 1, 2025. If you’re an Azure VMware Solution customer, here’s what you need to know about the new requirements and how they will affect your cloud deployments. What’s changing? Broadcom is changing its VMware licensing policies across all hyperscaler platforms to require customers to “bring your own” portable subscription for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). This means customers must purchase portable VCF subscriptions directly from Broadcom to use with cloud services in the future, including Azure VMware Solution. Azure VMware Solution already supports “bring your own” licensing model The good news is that Azure VMware Solution is ready for this change. The Azure VMware Solution VCF BYOL option is available in all 35 AVS regions worldwide, allowing customers to run AVS using their own VCF subscriptions. This BYOL solution is priced lower than AVS with bundled VCF subscription. No product changes to Azure VMware Solution These updates are about licensing only—there are no product changes to how Azure VMware Solution works. Microsoft will continue to deliver Azure VMware Solution as a fully managed VCF private cloud service on Azure. In practice, this means that Microsoft takes care of all infrastructure and VMware host level software management, patches and upgrades. You don’t need to worry about hardware maintenance or manual VMware host updates. Key dates and transition details Microsoft will stop selling Azure VMware Solution with VCF subscriptions included after October 15, 2025. After this date, new Azure VMware Solution node purchases will require you to provide a VCF subscription purchased from Broadcom. Microsoft will honor existing Reserved Instance commitments to Azure VMware Solution customers. If you purchase Azure VMware Solution Reserved Instances (RIs) on or before October 15, 2025, you can continue to use your Azure VMware Solution nodes without any licensing or product changes until your RI term ends. Azure VMware Solution with license included PayGo nodes can continue to operate without any licensing or product changes through October 31, 2026. Alternatively, customers can switch from Azure VMware Solution PayGo and purchase an Azure VMware Solution RI with license included by October 15, 2025. Helpful resources We’re committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our customers and partners. Here are some helpful links with more details: How to use portable VCF subscriptions with Azure VMware Solution How to purchase an Azure VMware Solution RI Broadcom Blog announcing the VMware licensing change If you need to purchase VCF subscriptions and do not have a Broadcom contract, leverage one of the Broadcom channel partners here. We will be reaching out directly to current Azure VMware Solution customers with more details.

Learn MoreForward Azure VMware Solution logs anywhere using Azure Logic Apps
Overview As enterprises scale their infrastructure in Microsoft Azure using Azure VMware Solution, gaining real-time visibility into the operational health of their private cloud environment becomes increasingly critical. Whether troubleshooting deployment issues, monitoring security events, or performing compliance audits, centralized logging is a must-have. Azure VMware Solution offers flexible options for exporting syslogs from vCenter Server, ESXi Hosts, and NSX components. While many customers already use Log Analytics or third-party log platforms for visibility, some have unique operational or compliance requirements that necessitate forwarding logs to specific destinations outside the Microsoft ecosystem. With the advent of VMware Cloud Foundation on Azure VMware Solution, customers can now have more choices and can leverage tools like VCF Operations for Logs to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot their logs. In this post, we’ll show you how to use Azure Logic Apps, Microsoft’s low-code, serverless integration platform, to forward Azure VMware Solution private cloud logs to any log management tool of your choosing. With a newly released workflow template tailored for Azure VMware Solution, you can set this up in minutes—no custom code required. Figure 1. Architectural flow of syslog data from an Azure VMware Solution private cloud to a log management server via Azure Logic Apps Background The Azure VMware Solution and Azure Logic Apps product teams have partnered to deliver a built-in integration that allows Azure VMware Solution customers to forward logs to any syslog-compatible endpoint—whether in Azure, on-premises, or another cloud. This new Logic Apps template is purpose-built for Azure VMware Solution and dramatically simplifies log forwarding. Figure 2. Azure VMware Solution template in Azure Logic Apps template catalog Historically, forwarding logs from Azure VMware Solution required customers to develop custom code or deploy complex workarounds, often involving multiple services and significant manual configuration. These methods not only introduced operational overhead but also made it difficult for platform teams to standardize logging across environments. With this new integration, customers who previously spent days in frustration trying to get their private cloud logs have now done so in under an hour, a massive improvement in both speed and simplicity. This new capability is particularly timely given recent industry changes. Following VMware’s announcement to discontinue the SaaS versions of Aria Operations, including Aria Operations for Logs, many customers have begun exploring alternative solutions for their log management needs. For those looking to use the on-premises alternative of Aria Operations for Logs, the ability to send Azure VMware Solution logs directly from Azure to their self-managed VCF Operations for Logs servers is now possible—with zero custom code. Using Azure Logic Apps, customers can seamlessly bridge their hybrid cloud monitoring environments and avoid gaps in visibility or compliance. This solution empowers Azure VMware Solution customers with more flexibility, shorter time-to-value, and a consistent logging strategy across both legacy and modernized environments. Why Azure Logic Apps? Azure Logic Apps is a powerful, low-code integration platform that enables IT administrators and platform teams to automate workflows and connect services—without having to manage any infrastructure. With over 1,400 connectors to Azure services, popular SaaS applications, and on-premises APIs, and more, Logic Apps provides a flexible and reliable foundation for routing log data across infrastructure environments. For Azure VMware Solution users, this means you can now easily forward logs from your Azure VMware Solution private cloud to any log management solution—on-premises or in the cloud—without writing custom code. Logic Apps acts as a dynamic “translator” or “dispatcher” in your architecture, listening for logs streamed to Event Hubs and securely forwarding them to your target syslog endpoint with the required formatting, headers, and authentication. This new capability not only accelerates time-to-value for log forwarding but also gives Azure VMware Solution customers the freedom to integrate with the logging platform of their choice—improving visibility, operational efficiency, and compliance in hybrid cloud environments. Future iterations of this integration will include support with Azure Blob Storage as well, another common method Azure VMware Solution customers use to retain and forward their logs. How to get started In addition to this blog, check out the links below to learn more about this integration, understand how Azure Logic Apps work, and use the pricing calculator to cost and size Azure Logic Apps. With large enterprise solutions for strategic and major customers, an Azure VMware Solution Architect from Azure, Broadcom, or a Broadcom Partner should be engaged to ensure the solution is correctly sized to deliver business value with the minimum of risk.
