How does an Azure Migrate cloud readiness assessment work?

Azure Migrate is Microsoft's free, central hub for discovering, assessing and migrating on-premises estates to Azure. Emirtech Technology, ADMCC-approved for security systems and operating from Mussafah M44, Abu Dhabi since 2018, deploys and operates Azure Migrate projects for clients across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. We begin with agent-less discovery using the Azure Migrate appliance for VMware vSphere, Hyper-V and physical servers — collecting inventory, configuration and performance telemetry over a representative period (typically 7-30 days) so right-sizing is based on observed utilisation, not guess-work. For deeper analysis we layer the dependency-mapping agent (Azure Monitor Agent and Dependency Agent, or the agent-less option for vSphere) to surface application affinities and migration-wave groupings. Assessment workloads supported include Azure Migrate: Discovery and assessment (servers), Azure SQL assessment (SQL Server to Azure SQL MI/DB/VM), Azure App Service migration assistant (ASP.NET, Java), Azure Database Migration Service (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle to Azure SQL/PostgreSQL), Virtual Desktop assessment (Azure Virtual Desktop sizing) and Apache Cassandra. Deliverables include readiness verdicts (Ready / Conditionally ready / Not ready / Unknown), right-sized Azure VM SKUs, reserved-instance vs pay-as-you-go cost models in AED/USD, total cost of ownership comparisons, and a wave-based migration plan. Migration execution uses Azure Site Recovery for servers and Database Migration Service for databases. Honest scope: Emirtech deploys, configures and analyses Azure Migrate, and we coordinate Azure subscriptions through authorised Microsoft channels in the UAE. We are not a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier Infrastructure (Azure) specialised partner, not a Microsoft FastTrack-Ready Partner, and not an authorised Microsoft distributor — for partner-tier escalation we work alongside your existing CSP or Microsoft account team.

Azure Migrate capabilities

What the Azure Migrate assessment covers

Agent-less server discovery

Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance for VMware vSphere, Hyper-V and physical Windows/Linux servers. Collect inventory, configuration and performance telemetry across a 7-30 day observation window for evidence-based right-sizing.

Dependency mapping

Layer Azure Monitor Agent and Dependency Agent, or the agent-less vSphere option, to surface application affinities, network flows and tiered relationships — feeding migration-wave groupings and minimising cut-over risk.

Database assessment

Run Azure SQL assessment for SQL Server (to Azure SQL MI, DB or VM) and Database Migration Service assessments for MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle workloads, with compatibility findings and target-platform recommendations.

Web app and VDI sizing

Use App Service Migration Assistant for ASP.NET and Java web apps, and Azure Virtual Desktop assessment for VDI estates — producing host-pool sizing, SKU mix and licensing notes for end-user computing migrations.

Delivery approach

How Emirtech runs an Azure Migrate project

Scope and appliance deployment

Confirm in-scope estate (vSphere clusters, Hyper-V hosts, physical servers, SQL instances), deploy the Azure Migrate appliance, register the project, and validate discovery connectivity to your Azure tenant via authorised CSP channels.

Observation and assessment

Collect 7-30 days of utilisation data, run server, SQL, web-app and VDI assessments, and generate readiness verdicts, right-sized SKUs and TCO models — reviewed in a workshop with your infrastructure and finance stakeholders.

Wave planning and business case

Group workloads into migration waves using dependency-map output, draft a phased migration timeline, and assemble a business-case pack comparing on-premises run-cost, reserved instances, hybrid benefit and savings-plan options for decision support.

Migration execution support

Where in scope, support Azure Site Recovery server migrations, Database Migration Service cut-overs and App Service migrations — coordinated with your Microsoft account team or CSP for tier-1 escalation when required.

Scope — what we deliver and explicitly do not

Emirtech publishes the boundary of every Azure Migrate engagement up-front so commercial and Microsoft-partner expectations are unambiguous.

  • We deliver: Azure Migrate project and appliance deployment, agent-less and agent-based discovery, dependency mapping, server / SQL / web-app / VDI assessments, right-sizing, TCO modelling, migration-wave planning and Azure Site Recovery / DMS / App Service migration execution support across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
  • We do not deliver: Azure subscription resale or licensing contracts, Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier advisory escalations, FastTrack-funded engagements, custom Azure landing-zone certifications, or 24/7 SOC monitoring of migrated workloads.
  • We are not: a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier specialised partner of Infrastructure (Azure), Modern Work, Security, Data & AI, Business Applications or Digital & App Innovation; not a Microsoft FastTrack-Ready Partner; not an authorised Microsoft distributor in the UAE.
  • We are not affiliated with: Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier Infrastructure / Azure partners, authorised Microsoft distributors in UAE, AWS Migration Hub, GCP Migrate for Compute Engine, Movere, Cloudamize or RISC Networks.
  • Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, and in Dubai: smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.
  • Our approval and scope are ADMCC approval (security systems only) and Control4 installation through a third-party dealer; we do not hold SIRA, ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certification.
  • Microsoft licensing, Azure Reserved Instances and Savings Plans are procured through your existing CSP or authorised Microsoft channel partner — Emirtech does not transact licensing directly.

If any of the excluded items above are required, we will say so during scoping and refer the work to an appropriately credentialled Microsoft partner rather than misrepresent capability.

Common questions

FAQs

Is Emirtech a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Infrastructure (Azure)?

No. Emirtech is a commercial implementer of Azure Migrate: appliance deployment, discovery, assessments and Site Recovery migrations. We are not a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier specialised partner of Infrastructure (Azure) or any other solution area, and we are not a Microsoft FastTrack-Ready Partner. For partner-tier advisory or funded engagements we coordinate with your existing CSP or Microsoft account team.

Does Azure Migrate itself cost anything?

The Azure Migrate service — discovery, assessment, dependency mapping and the migration assistants — is free from Microsoft. Costs you may incur include the Azure consumption of any migrated workloads, Azure Site Recovery licensing during replication windows, Database Migration Service premium tiers for online migrations, and Emirtech's professional-services time. We model these in the TCO output.

What hypervisors and platforms can Azure Migrate discover?

Azure Migrate supports VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and physical Windows / Linux servers via the discovery appliance. It also assesses SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle databases, ASP.NET and Java web apps, Azure Virtual Desktop estates and Apache Cassandra clusters. AWS EC2 and GCP Compute Engine instances can be discovered as physical servers for cross-cloud assessments.

How long does a typical Azure Migrate assessment take?

Duration depends on the size and complexity of the estate. The main fixed element is the performance observation window, typically 7-30 days, which gives evidence-based right-sizing; appliance deployment, assessment review, dependency mapping and migration-wave planning are scoped to your estate and confirmed in the written proposal.

Can Emirtech execute the actual migration after the assessment?

Yes — we support migration execution using Azure Site Recovery for servers, Database Migration Service for SQL / MySQL / PostgreSQL / Oracle, and App Service Migration Assistant for web apps. Cut-over windows, rollback plans and post-migration validation are scoped wave-by-wave. Azure subscription procurement remains with your CSP or Microsoft channel partner.
