# Install HCX for Azure VMWare Solution

In this article, we go through procedures to set up the VMWare Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX) solution for your Azure VMWare Solution (AVS) private cloud. The HCX solution supports up to three external enterprise sites, where each external site must have its own HCX Enterprise activation (HEA) key in order to migrate to the AVS Private Cloud target. Hot/cold vMotion migrations for VMs to and from on-premises environments and your AVS private cloud are enabled by the solution.

In this article, we go through procedures to set up the VMWare Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX) solution for your Azure VMWare Solution (AVS) private cloud. HCX Advanced (default installation) supports up to three external sites, where each external site requires an HCX Enterprise manager or connector to be installed and activated.

HCX enables migration of your VMware workloads to the cloud and or other connected sites through various built-in HCX supported migration types. If more than three sites are required, customers have the option to enable the HCX Enterprise add-on through Support. HCX Enterprise carries additional charges for customers after general availability (GA) but provides [additional features](https://cloud.vmware.com/community/2019/08/08/introducing-hcx-enterprise/).
