Trust our proven ESXi to OpenShift migration expertise.
We move your VM workloads from VMware ESXi directly onto Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization using a fixed-scope project, led by senior platform engineers, with zero forced cutover.
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 → Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project delivered by senior engineers.
- ✓No forced big-bang cutover – migrate on your timeline.
- ✓Keep legacy VMs running on OpenShift with expert migration.
- ✓Save 40-70% on vendor renewals while you plan the move.
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout and after migration.
Modernization mandates vs. legacy lock-in
Your board has mandated application modernization and a cloud-native strategy, but your VMware estate is locked into legacy Virtualization APIs and pricing.
Rising licensing costs pressure your timeline
Vendor licensing costs are rising sharply, forcing you to accelerate the move off ESXi – but you need a proven, low-risk path.
Legacy VM and storage compatibility blockers
Your VMs run on unsupported OS versions or complex storage that seem impossible to migrate to KubeVirt, stalling your cloud-native roadmap.
VMware ESXi → Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization migration — your questions answered
What if our VMs run legacy OS versions unsupported by KubeVirt?+
We assess each VM’s OS version and configuration. For older OSes that aren’t officially supported by KubeVirt, we containerize the application or use compatibility layers – we’ve handled everything from Windows 2000 to RHEL 5 in production.
Can you handle complex multi-path storage arrays?+
Yes. Our engineers have deep experience migrating from complex multi-path Fibre Channel and iSCSI arrays to OpenShift-native storage (e.g., ODF) while preserving data integrity and performance.
How do you replace native vSphere clustering APIs?+
We replicate the critical networking and clustering behavior inside OpenShift’s SDN and KubeVirt. For advanced vSphere features like HA/DRS, we map them to equivalent Kubernetes constructs – not a direct clone, but a production-grade equivalent.
What is the typical timeline and budget?+
Typical projects run 4–8 months with 3–6 of our senior consultants. Budget ranges from $100,000 to $850,000 depending on VM count and complexity. We scope everything upfront so there are no surprises.
