Modernize Your Infrastructure on Azure

Aging servers, end-of-support software, and rising virtualization costs are pushing infrastructure leaders to modernize now. ARC migrates Windows Server, SQL Server, VMware estates, Linux, SAP, and line-of-business workloads to Azure using a structured approach that balances speed with control.

We start with evidence, not assumptions: workload inventory, dependency mapping, risk ranking, and cost modeling. From there, we execute in prioritized waves so critical systems move safely, downtime is minimized, and your teams stay aligned throughout the program.

Section 02

What We Deliver

  • Windows Server and SQL Server: Rehost, replatform, or modernize including end-of-support remediation.
  • VMware to Azure: Migrate to Azure VMware Solution or redesign for native Azure.
  • SAP and enterprise applications: Move and run business-critical workloads with performance and resilience.
  • Cost optimization: Right-size resources and apply Azure Hybrid Benefit where eligible.
  • Security baseline: Implement Defender for Cloud and governance controls as part of migration, not after it.
  • Operational readiness: Monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, and runbook guidance for steady-state operations.
Section 03

Technology We Use

  • Azure IaaS and PaaS
  • Azure VMware Solution
  • Azure Migrate
  • Azure SQL and data platform services
  • Azure Arc for hybrid control
  • Microsoft Defender for Cloud
Section 04

Why ARC

  • De-risked migration: Assessment-led planning and pre-cutover validation reduce surprises.
  • VMware exit strategy: We model migration patterns and the business case for Azure options.
  • End-of-support focus: We prioritize vulnerable workloads that carry immediate operational and security risk.
  • Secure by default: Governance and cloud security posture are embedded from the start.

ARC is a 3x Microsoft Solutions Partner with 12+ years of delivery experience and a 100% client retention record.

Section 05

How We Deliver

1. Discovery: We assess your current estate, dependencies, risk, and cost baseline.

2. Architecture: We design migration waves, landing zones, security controls, and operating model.

3. Migration and Modernization: We execute workloads in controlled phases with validation at each gate.

4. Launch and Support: We complete cutover, optimize cost and reliability, and transition to managed operations as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you de-risk Azure migration?
We begin with a structured assessment and phased plan, validate each wave before cutover, and use rollback-ready execution patterns to protect continuity.
Can you help with VMware licensing changes and exit planning?
Yes. We model Azure migration paths, compare architecture options, and quantify cost and operational impact for a practical VMware exit strategy.
What about end-of-support Windows Server and SQL Server workloads?
We prioritize end-of-support workloads early in the program to reduce security and compliance exposure while modernizing the platform.
Do you optimize cloud cost as part of migration?
Yes. We apply right-sizing, reservation strategy, and Azure Hybrid Benefit to reduce recurring spend while meeting performance targets.
