Azure Migrate

Azure Migrate is Microsoft's flagship cloud migration tool, offering discovery, assessment and migration services across VMware, Hyper-V, physical servers, databases and more. It is agentless, secure and scalable, with support for both public and private network deployments. It is a required prerequisite for Dr Migrate, which uses Azure Migrate's real-time performance and infrastructure metadata to drive its TCO, right-sizing and modernization recommendations.
