The solution leverages two workflows. First, ASR for the replication and converting of the whole VM to Azure including the VM’s boot volume. Second, Everpure array-based replication for replicating the data volumes. Data volume replication requires the VMs volume to be in a vVol or RDM datastore and it can be performed from an on-premises FlashArray to Everpure Cloud Dedicated for Azure, the replicated data volume can be presented to the newly created Azure VM via in-guest iSCSi.
This document can fit into many use case scenarios, including disaster recovery (DR), lift-and-shift migration, and Dev/Test.
