Trusted VMware NSX to Cisco ACI Migration – Fixed Scope, Senior Engineers
Migrating VMware NSX to Cisco ACI is a well-understood project. We port your distributed security policies to APIC contract structures while maintaining dual-run coverage.
The lowest-cost way off VMware NSX: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support VMware NSX → Cisco ACI after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project – predictable timeline and budget.
- ✓Senior architects lead your migration end-to-end.
- ✓Dual-run coverage – no big-bang cutover.
- ✓Port NSX distributed policies to APIC contracts.
- ✓40–70% savings on legacy support during migration.
Broadcom price hikes hitting your budget
Unsustainable licensing costs on VMware NSX are forcing a move. We help you migrate to Cisco ACI without paying inflated renewals to buy time – our third-party support covers most operational issues if your vendor contract lapses.
Datacenter hardware refresh forces a decision
You're refreshing hardware and want to standardize on Cisco. Migrating NSX to ACI during refresh avoids dual infrastructure management. Our fixed-scope plan aligns with your hardware replacement cycle.
Complex security group and service insertion rules
NSX dynamic security groups based on VM guest OS attributes, third-party service insertion, and Edge load balancing configurations – we map each to ACI equivalents so nothing breaks. Your team doesn't need to re-architect from scratch.
VMware NSX → Cisco ACI migration — your questions answered
How do you handle NSX dynamic security groups based on VM guest OS attributes?+
We inventory all NSX security groups and map them to APIC endpoint groups and contracts. Guest OS attributes are converted into ACI tag-based policies. No manual re-creation – we automate the translation.
What about NSX Service Insertion integrations (e.g., firewall, IDS/IPS)?+
We document each service chain and redeploy it in ACI using service graphs. Your existing vendor appliances can be reconnected to the ACI fabric with proper policy redirection. Dual-run ensures no security gaps during cutover.
Our vendor renewal is coming up mid-migration. Do we have to renew to keep going?+
No. While your vendor contract is active, you stay under vendor support. If it lapses, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy NSX platform – not patches, but break-fix and configuration assistance – so you can complete the migration on your timeline without paying a full renewal.
How do you migrate NSX Edge load balancing configurations?+
We analyze your NSX Edge virtual servers, pools, and health monitors, then replicate the configuration on Cisco ACI's native load balancer or integrate with your existing appliance. All traffic is validated during dual-run before final cutover.
