VMware vCenter Server → OpenStack migration — your questions answered

How do you handle my custom vCenter HA/DRS rules during migration?+

We assess and reimplement them in OpenStack. Your virtual machine availability guarantees remain intact from day one.

What about my existing PowerCLI script library?+

Our senior engineers analyze your scripts and convert automation logic to OpenStack APIs. You retain operational efficiency without rewriting everything from scratch.

Does this project force me into a big-bang cutover or early contract end?+

No. Your VMware vendor support continues as long as your contract is active — migrate on your timeline. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues (excluding vendor patches).

What is the typical timeline and budget for a vSphere to OpenStack migration?+

Projects run 4–9 months with 3–6 onshore consultants. Budgets range from $130,000 to $1,100,000 depending on scale, scope, and complexity. We provide a fixed-scope proposal after the feasibility assessment.
