What prompted Manchester Met to move to Azure VMware Solution?
The university faced the imminent end of support for its on-premises VMware infrastructure. Given its existing licensing, the Azure VMware Solution offered significant cost benefits and value-added services, making it a suitable choice for their needs.
What were the results of the migration to Azure VMware Solution?
Within eight months, Manchester Met moved 80% of its servers to Azure VMware Solution, consolidating its datacenter from 25 to 7 comms racks. This led to a 43% reduction in essential servers and a cut of up to 50% in its on-premises footprint, while also improving performance across migrated applications and databases.
How has the migration affected Manchester Met's approach to technology?
The migration has encouraged a shift towards prioritizing Azure-native solutions and a cloud-first mentality. IT staff have embraced cloud concepts, leading to improved performance and a more proactive approach to technology management, as they now consider cloud options before on-premises solutions.
