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.
