What prompted Carhartt to migrate to Azure VMware Solution?
Carhartt's continued growth put a strain on its existing IT infrastructure, resulting in several outages each year.

This initial success prompted a broader evaluation of cloud solutions, leading to the decision to migrate the majority of their environment to Microsoft Azure.
How has Azure VMware Solution improved Carhartt's IT management?
After migrating to Azure VMware Solution, Carhartt has experienced zero downtime and has significantly reduced hardware issues. The IT team can now push updates faster and manage their infrastructure more efficiently, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance. This shift has provided the team with more time to enhance processes that support the company's growth.
What benefits does Carhartt see in using virtual desktops?
Virtual desktops at Carhartt offer flexibility and productivity benefits for employees, particularly for internal developers who can run demanding systems without tying up their laptops. The transition to Horizon Cloud Service on Microsoft Azure also enhances security by reducing the need for VPNs, streamlining user access while maintaining compliance with corporate security policies.
