Your NSX to OpenStack Neutron Migration, Led by Core Contributors
Migrating from VMware NSX to OpenStack Neutron (with OVN) is a well-understood, structured project. Our senior architects replace proprietary SDN with open-source OVN, ensuring minimal disruption and fixed costs.
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 → OpenStack Neutron (with OVN) after migration
- ✓Led by upstream OpenStack core contributors
- ✓Fixed-scope projects with senior platform engineers
- ✓40-70% savings vs. vendor support renewals
- ✓24/7 US-based support post-migration
- ✓Vendor support stays active during planning
- ✓Proven process for NSX-to-OVN migration
Broadcom price hikes force platform change
Soaring enterprise license costs from Broadcom make continued VMware NSX use unsustainable. You need a cost-effective, open-source SDN alternative.
Proprietary VTEP gateway lock-in
Your NSX-T hardware VTEP integrations feel impossible to replace. Our engineers have deep OVN experience to handle those gateways cleanly.
Service Insertion load balancer complexity
Migrating NSX Service Insertion setups to OpenStack Neutron scares most teams. We've done it repeatedly with fixed-scope projects.
VMware NSX → OpenStack Neutron (with OVN) migration — your questions answered
How do you migrate from VMware NSX to OpenStack Neutron (with OVN) without downtime?+
We use a phased, fixed-scope approach. Your existing NSX environment stays under vendor support during the transition. We migrate workloads in parallel, testing OVN connectivity before cutover, ensuring zero production impact.
Can you handle proprietary NSX-T VTEP gateway integrations during migration to OpenStack?+
Yes. Our team includes upstream OVN contributors experienced with replacing hardware VTEPs with software-based OVN gateways. We assess your current topology and design a seamless replacement.
What happens to our NSX Service Insertion load balancer configurations when moving to OVN?+
We map NSX Service Insertion rules to OpenStack Neutron native load-balancing or OVN's distributed virtual routing. All traffic flows are validated before the cutover to avoid service interruptions.
How long does an NSX-to-OVN migration take and what is the typical budget?+
Most projects run 6-12 months with 4-6 OpenStack architects. Budgets range from $150,000 to $1,200,000 depending on environment scale and complexity. We provide a fixed-scope quote after a design assessment.
