RackWare and Microsoft Azure
Accelerate your Azure Cloud adoption with RackWare’s automated migration and disaster recovery platform. RackWare eliminates manual configuration, integrates with Azure-native services, and enables elastic workload mobility—ensuring cost-effective scaling and robust business continuity.
Why RackWare and Microsoft?
RackWare and Microsoft Azure form a powerful alliance to simplify cloud adoption and strengthen enterprise agility. Whether you're migrating complex, stateful workloads or developing a robust disaster recovery (DR) strategy, RackWare’s RMM platform integrates natively with Azure to streamline and automate the entire process.
With support for Azure Marketplace deployment, RackWare RMM can be activated with just a few clicks—no custom scripting or manual reconfiguration required. Our intelligent automation engine is fully compatible with Azure-native services like Azure Disk, Azure File Share, and integrates cleanly with environments using CSI Azure Disk or CSI Azure File Share for persistent volume management.
With RackWare and Microsoft Azure you get:
-
Zero-disruption workload mobility across hybrid and Azure-only infrastructures
-
Granular RPO/RTO policies for cost-optimized and resilient DR
-
Intelligent scaling and policy-based provisioning across Azure Availability Zones and Regions
How RackWare for Microsoft Works
RackWare’s RackWare Management Module (RMM) integrates directly with Azure APIs to deliver an end-to-end solution for:
Auto-Provisioning in Azure
Dynamically create and manage Azure VMs based on demand, cost, and regional availability using native Azure APIs.
Agentless Migration
Move physical, virtual, and legacy systems into Azure without image creation or re-architecture—including clustered workloads and shared storage environments.
Azure-Based Disaster Recovery
Use RackWare's policy engine to automate failover, fallback, test drills, and dynamic provisioning in Azure Availability Sets and Zones.
Cloud Cost Estimation
Simulate and optimize Azure cloud costs pre-migration with resource-specific and region-specific metrics.
Policy-Driven Management
Enforce scaling, parking, and cost governance across Azure deployments using RackWare’s unified management interface..
Benefits of RackWare for Microsoft
Faster Migrations
Cut migration timelines from weeks to days with streamlined discovery, planning, and execution—even for complex environments with custom configurations or legacy systems.
Resilient Azure Disaster Recovery
Design and execute Azure DR strategies with flexible RPO/RTO options. RackWare supports both hot and warm standby configurations in Azure VM Scale Sets and Availability Zones.
Unified Cloud Control
Manage on-prem, Azure, and hybrid workloads through a centralized console, reducing the operational burden of managing multiple toolsets.
Optimized TCO
Intelligent automation reduces Azure spend by right-sizing VMs, eliminating idle resources, and leveraging Azure-native storage options like Azure Disk and Azure File Share for optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
Full Stack Portability
Maintain agility and avoid cloud lock-in. RackWare abstracts applications from infrastructure, enabling seamless mobility between physical, virtual, and Azure environments.
