Azure Virtualisation

Migrate your physical servers to Azure — zero downtime, zero surprises

Transform your IT infrastructure into high-performance Azure virtual machines. We migrate your Windows and Linux servers with Azure Migrate, right-size resources and train you to manage your cloud environment. The result: less hardware to maintain, costs aligned with your actual usage and immediate scalability.

Features

What Azure virtualisation brings to your infrastructure

Windows and Linux VMs

Deploy virtual machines running Windows Server or Linux in minutes. Choose the size, region and redundancy options to match your business needs. No physical server, no additional virtualisation licence.

Azure Migrate

Microsoft's official migration tool analyses your on-premise infrastructure, assesses the compatibility of each server and generates a detailed migration plan. We use it to guarantee migrations with no data loss and no service interruption.

Auto-scaling

Automatically scale your virtual machine resources up or down based on workload. Your applications maintain performance at peak times, and you don't pay for unused resources during quiet periods.

Azure Reserved Instances

Reserve your virtual machines for 1 or 3 years and reduce your Azure bill by up to 72% compared to on-demand pricing. We size your reservations based on your actual consumption to maximise savings without over-committing.

Azure Arc (hybrid)

Manage your on-premise servers and Azure virtual machines from a single console. Azure Arc enables a phased migration: you move workloads to Azure at your own pace, without migrating everything at once.

Azure Bastion (secure access)

Access your Azure virtual machines directly from the portal without exposing any public RDP or SSH port. Azure Bastion encrypts all connections and eliminates the most common attack vectors on VMs exposed to the internet.

The challenge

Are your physical servers slowing down your IT infrastructure?

  • Your physical servers are more than five years old and maintenance costs, spare parts and security update costs increase every year — without any improvement in performance
  • Every server replacement requires significant CAPEX investment, a stressful migration window and hours of work from your IT team to reinstall and reconfigure the environment
  • Your infrastructure capacity is fixed: when a project demands more compute power or storage, you have to wait for the purchase, delivery and installation of a new server — sometimes several weeks
  • Your infrastructure has no automatic redundancy: if a physical server fails, hosted services are interrupted until your IT team or provider can intervene

The Air Cloud approach to Azure virtualisation

We don't migrate for the sake of migrating. We build a cloud infrastructure that reduces your costs and frees your IT team from the constraints of physical hardware.

30 to 50% reduction in infrastructure costs

We audit your current infrastructure and right-size your Azure virtual machines. Reserved Instances, removal of unused resources, monthly rightsizing: our clients reduce their infrastructure bill by 30 to 50% on average in the 12 months following migration, compared to the total cost of ownership of their physical infrastructure.

The Azure portal mastered by your teams

We train your administrators on the Azure portal: starting and stopping VMs, monitoring resources, managing alerts and creating snapshots. Your IT teams become self-sufficient for day-to-day operations. We remain available for upgrades and complex incidents.

Certified zero-downtime migration

As a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner for Azure, we plan and execute migrations while minimising impact on your teams. Critical migrations are carried out at weekends or outside business hours. We validate each target machine before decommissioning the source. Zero surprises, zero data loss.

Customer story
« We had 15 physical servers in a room nobody wanted to go near — they were that outdated. Air Cloud migrated everything to Azure in 4 weeks, with zero service interruption. Today we pay for what we actually use, and my team no longer spends nights managing outages. »
