VMware Migration
Broadcom's licensing changes are forcing a rethink of virtualization strategy. We help you migrate VMware workloads to OpenShift, OpenStack or public cloud — zero downtime, no surprises.
The problem
VMware is no longer the obvious choice. Licensing costs skyrocketed, the subscription model changed, and alternatives have matured enough to be viable in production. The question isn't whether to migrate — it's how to do it without breaking anything.
Most migrations fail because they're treated as infrastructure projects when they're actually business continuity projects. Every VM has undocumented dependencies, configurations only one engineer knows, and SLAs that can't be broken for a single second.
Assessment: what to migrate, refactor or retire
Not everything migrates the same way. We classify each workload by complexity, dependencies and criticality to define the right strategy: lift-and-shift, re-platform or re-architect.
- Complete VM inventory with dependency mapping
- Classification by criticality and migration strategy
- Compatibility assessment with targets: OpenShift, OpenStack, AWS, Azure, GCP
- Wave-based migration plan with defined rollback
Zero-downtime migration with continuous validation
We use MTV (Migration Toolkit for Virtualization), virt-v2v and HyperShift to move workloads without service interruption. Each wave is validated in production before proceeding to the next.
- Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) and virt-v2v
- Active-active replication during transition
- Automatic post-migration validation: performance, integrity, SLAs
- Scheduled cutover with immediate rollback if anything fails
“Our CTO was convinced we'd have at least one incident during the migration. It didn't happen. Zero interruptions, and we process over two million transactions a day.”
