Best Way to CoLo, Cloud Host off Prem, or has Hybrid Infrastructure
Hello, does anyone have any suggestions for the best approach to moving our VMware infrastructure residing on Dell Poweredge servers into the Cloud? We have 4 Virtual Hosts and about 30-32 Virtual Machines that we want to move into Azure or Amazon AWS.
We want to avoid the risk of avoiding hardware support, electrical/air conditioner issues. Our main VM is the SQL 2014 server. Our business operations run through this. Our other servers are mostly web and application servers that support the company. Most of the servers reside on Server 2012 Std OSs.
We'd love to transition to a web portal desktop or VDI deployment for workstations. This isn't meant to be specific. I'd just appreciate the right individual(s) pointing me in the right direction since we move our corporate infrastructure to another location in Feb 2017.
IaaS is more than appreciated.
Thanks!

I would advise you to start with migrating your DB to AWS RDS service (AWS DMS maybe helpful).
and there is always VMware vCloud Air!

Thanks, guys. We're currently looking into Azure for the migration.
Much appreciated!

Azure or AWS are with good choices. I'm partial to Azure myself, and you can even jump from VMs to "native" services (SQL Azure instead of SQL VMs, for example) if your apps can he configured to support the various cloud PaaS offerings Azure and AWS have.
