Trusted ESXi to OpenStack Migration by Senior Engineers
You need to migrate VMware ESXi to Canonical OpenStack — this is a well-understood project. We assess, plan, and execute fixed-scope migrations with senior platform engineers so you move at your pace.
The lowest-cost way off VMware ESXi: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support VMware ESXi → Canonical OpenStack after migration
- ✓Senior engineers run your entire migration — no juniors.
- ✓Fixed-scope projects — no budget overruns.
- ✓Migrate at your timeline — vendor support stays active.
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy support during transition.
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout the move.
- ✓Post-migration Canonical OpenStack managed cloud services.
vSphere clustering & VMware APIs
You rely on vSphere clustering and proprietary APIs. We map every dependency and build an equivalent OpenStack architecture — your workloads keep running.
Complex enterprise SAN fabrics
Enterprise SAN fabrics don't translate directly. Our engineers redesign storage for OpenStack Ceph or your preferred backend — zero data loss.
Legacy apps that can't use cloud-init
Applications built for static VMs fear dynamic deployment. We containerize or refactor — or keep them on vendor-supported legacy VMs until ready.
VMware ESXi → Canonical OpenStack migration — your questions answered
How do you migrate from VMware ESXi to Canonical OpenStack?+
Assessment first — we inventory VMs, storage, network, and dependencies. Then we design the target OpenStack architecture, migrate workloads in waves, and validate every step. Fixed scope, known timeline.
Do I lose vendor support during the migration?+
No. Your VMware ESXi stays under vendor support as long as your contract is active. You control the pace — no forced cutover. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues while you finish.
What about my SAN fabric and vSphere clusters?+
We map each cluster and SAN configuration to OpenStack equivalents — Ceph, NFS, or direct-attach. Your storage is migrated without disruption, and legacy fabrics can remain supported during the transition.
Can I keep legacy apps that don't support cloud-init?+
Yes. We segment workloads — apps that can't move immediately stay on VMware with vendor support (or ours if the contract lapses). They move later when refactored or replaced.
