MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA, October 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SmiKar Software, a company that has been providing innovative IT solutions for nearly 10 years, is excited to announce Carbon, a powerful solution designed to automate the cloud repatriation of virtual machines and workloads from Microsoft Azure back to on-premise environments like VMware and Hyper-V (with or without SCVMM). As more organizations are reassessing their cloud strategies, many are choosing to migrate back to on-premise data centers, and Carbon makes this process effortless.

Cloud repatriation—the process of moving workloads from the cloud back to on-premise infrastructure—can often be complex, time-consuming, and costly. However, Carbon simplifies and automates this migration, enabling IT teams to quickly and efficiently move their virtual machines from Azure back to VMware or Hyper-V environments in just a few clicks. By automating the steps required to download and restore Azure VMs on-premise, Carbon reduces the manual effort and risks typically associated with cloud-to-on-premise transitions.

Recent Updates to Carbon
The latest updates to Carbon have increased throughput and now include compression, allowing for easier, faster migrations of multiple virtual machines simultaneously. These enhancements help streamline cloud repatriation, reducing downtime and minimizing disruptions for businesses seeking to regain control of their infrastructure.

Why are organizations migrating back to on-premise?

In recent years, many organizations moved their workloads to the cloud for scalability and flexibility. However, rising cloud costs, concerns about data sovereignty, and the need for enhanced control over critical infrastructure have prompted many companies to pursue cloud repatriation. Carbon is designed to address these needs by automating the process, making it easier for businesses to return to their on-premise environments with minimal friction.

Key Features of Carbon:

Seamless Automation: Carbon automates the migration of virtual machines from Azure back to VMware or Hyper-V (with or without SCVMM), ensuring that the process is quick, efficient, and error-free.
Download Azure VMs: Using Carbon’s automation process, IT teams can download and migrate their Azure virtual machines with just a few clicks and minimal manual intervention.
Increased Throughput and Compression: Carbon now supports increased throughput and compression, enabling easier and faster migrations of multiple VMs simultaneously.
Cost Reduction: By facilitating a smooth migration, organizations can reduce ongoing Azure cloud costs while bringing critical workloads back under local control.
Data Sovereignty and Compliance: As businesses navigate evolving data regulations, having on-premise infrastructure can provide greater control over data location and compliance with jurisdiction-specific rules.

Mark Smith, CEO of SmiKar, commented: “As the demand for cloud repatriation grows, more businesses are looking to migrate back from Azure to on-premise environments like VMware and Hyper-V. Whether it’s due to rising cloud costs, compliance needs, or strategic considerations, Carbon is the ideal solution for automating and simplifying this migration process. Our latest updates further enhance the tool’s ability to streamline these transitions.”
