Azure Migrate
now supports assessments for Azure Files, allowing customers and partners to
efficiently plan migrations of on-premises SMB and NFS file shares (Windows and
Linux) to Azure Files. This feature enables discovery of file shares,
visibility into capacity and sources, and provides Azure Files SKU
recommendations for informed migration decisions.
Key benefits
include:
- Discover and review on-premises SMB/NFS shares
- Group, tag, and filter shares for better
planning
- Generate business cases comparing Azure Files and
on-premises costs
- Assess shares with Azure Files SKU recommendations
based on region, redundancy, media type, and performance
This
enhancement streamlines migration planning, reduces guesswork, and speeds up
transitions to Azure Files, especially for complex environments.
Azure Files is
ideal for modernisation, backup, and lift-and-shift needs. Integrating
assessments into Azure Migrate ensures a seamless migration journey using the
trusted Azure platform.
