Trusted VCF to OpenStack Migration by Senior Engineers
Yes, migrating VMware Cloud Foundation to OpenStack is a well-understood project. Our senior engineers architect your sovereign private Cloud on Canonical OpenStack, running on your hardware, with a fixed scope
The lowest-cost way off VMware Cloud Foundation: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support VMware Cloud Foundation → OpenStack after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope migration from VMware Cloud Foundation to OpenStack.
- ✓Senior engineers design and validate your Canonical OpenStack Cloud.
- ✓Legacy VCF stays under vendor support during the full project.
- ✓Third-party support for most issues if vendor renewal lapses.
- ✓40-70% savings vs VCF support renewals while you migrate.
- ✓24/7 US-based support for post-migration OpenStack operations.
Sovereign Cloud Imperative
Regulatory mandates for data residency and vendor independence force migration to an on-prem private Cloud, but moving massive VM estates off VMware Cloud Foundation feels risky.
Hypervisor Lock-In Fear
Proprietary HA features (Fault Tolerance) and vRealize workflows are deeply integrated. You worry about losing operational continuity or breaking backup systems tied to VADP.
Cost of Dual Running
Maintaining legacy VCF support while building an OpenStack Cloud strains budget. You need a model that doesn't force a big-bang cutover or surprise renewal deadline.
VMware Cloud Foundation → OpenStack migration — your questions answered
How does a VMware to OpenStack migration handle proprietary HA like Fault Tolerance?+
We assess your workload dependencies first. For critical VMs that require fault tolerance, we design equivalent high-availability patterns using OpenStack clusters or 3rd-party tools—validated in our staging environment before cutover.
Can we keep using our vRealize/Aria workflows during a VCF to OpenStack migration?+
Yes. We map existing automation and monitoring workflows to native OpenStack tools (e.g., Heat, Mistral, Ceilometer) or integrate with your existing ITSM stack. The dual-support model lets you run both platforms in parallel.
What about third-party backups that use VMware VADP?+
We help migrate backup strategies to OpenStack-native snapshots and APIs. Many tools also support both VMware and OpenStack; we validate that transition during the project, not after.
Do you offer post-migration managed services for OpenStack private Cloud?+
Absolutely. After migration, we provide managed OpenStack administration, uptime monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code updates, all with 24/7 US-based support.
Architect Your Sovereign OpenStack Cloud with Certainty
Our dual-support model keeps your VMware Cloud Foundation environment supported while senior engineers build, validate, and migrate your workloads to Canonical OpenStack—on-prem, on your hardware, free from licensing overhead.
