CloudSimple provides native VMware Private Clouds as-a-Service from the Azure Public Cloud.
Overview
Microsoft Azure VMware Solution by CloudSimple is an Azure service that allows you to run VMware workloads natively on Azure. Microsoft provides and supports the management systems, networking services, operating platform, and backend infrastructure required to run VMware environments at scale in Azure.
With this solution, you can deploy VMware workloads on a dedicated, high-performance, and single-tenant environment on Azure. This means you can provision, expand, and shrink your VMware infrastructure on demand in minutes while continuing to operate your VMware environment on Azure the same way you do on-premises. Leverage Azure economies of scale without the complexity of rearchitecting your applications—and, you can modernize and enhance your applications at your own pace.The solution is supported, verified, and certified by VMware.
CloudSimple enables enterprise customers to stop managing their own data centers and move their traditional workloads into public clouds, such as Azure. While new applications are designed to be cloud-native and are suitable for public clouds – with application-layer redundancy, use of software-defined infrastructure and usage of PaaS – most existing on-premise applications are not suitable for migration to the public clouds. A vast majority of such on-premise applications run on VMware-based private clouds. By offering native VMware stack as-a-service, CloudSimple is able to move and host such traditional workloads in the public cloud data centers non-disruptively.

Unified management - Discover unified management across Azure and VMware that enables you to use familiar Azure capabilities (Portal, CLI, and ARM templates) along with your VMware toolset. Manage both Azure and VMware resources using ARM for the first time.
Azure vmware solution reduce the datacenter footprint via “one-time redeploy-ment” of VMware-based virtual machines while decreasing the overall on-premises infrastructure. Customers can “lift and shift” vSphere-based workloads to Azure in a non- disruptive, automated, scalable, highly available fashion without changing the underlying vSphere hypervisor or the network, security, or data protection police.
