The following video is a demo of the full process:
Everpure Cloud Dedicated for Azure along with Azure Migrate provides a simple and cost-effective replication approach for Pure Customers with an on-premises FlashArray and VMware environment. This approach offers a unique hybrid-cloud environment for the data to be mobile and live anywhere.
The simplicity and the cost-effectiveness of this solution come from combining both Pure array-based replication which reduces the total bandwidth preserving dedupe and compression on the wire, and Azure migrate centralized hub and comprehensive agentless discovery and migration capabilities.
As shown in the solution diagram below, Azure Migrate, Pure FlashArray and Everpure Cloud Dedicated will be configured to migrate the on-premises VM(s) to Azure. First Azure Migrate discovers the VM resides on the connected VMware vCenter, then it will be configured to migrates the boot disk/volume only. Once the initial sync is complete, Azure handles the creation of the instance (Azure VM) and attaches the boot volume to it. Since the migration configuration excluding the data volumes. Those data volumes will be replicated using the built-in Pure replication between FlashArray and Everpure Cloud Dedicated, and can be mounted using in-guest iSCSi to the created instance.
