Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 will enter EoS on 10 October 2023, and Migrate2Azure is designed to help Microsoft CSP partners to move customer workloads currently deployed on-premises to the cloud platform.
TD Synnex said its expert team can migrate applications from in-house or private cloud servers to Azure, free of charge. All proposals put forward for the TD Synnex Migrate2Azure offer will first need to go through a Microsoft Solution Assessment. While this stipulates a minimum size of 25 virtual machines, TD Synnex added it will consider propositions of a smaller scale.
Simon Bennett, director, enterprise software and cloud, UK and Ireland, TD Synnex, said, “Migrate2Azure gives SMB-focused partners the practical support they need to get their Azure business moving. While larger and more established MSPs may have the capability to move workloads to Azure themselves, many smaller Microsoft CSP partners do not have the experience or the resources to manage a migration project.
“The TD Synnex Migrate2Azure service means that they can overcome that challenge and really get their Azure business moving. With the EoS on editions of Windows Server 2012 fast approaching, this is the ideal time for customers to migrate to the cloud. That’s presenting opportunities to partners which, with Migrate2Azure, we can help them to take.”
As well as access to the expertise and experience of TD Synnex’s own Azure specialists, the service will enable partners to drive higher revenues and help customers move to the cloud without making any additional investment or taking operational risk.
