Your Proven Path for vSAN to AWS Native Migration
To migrate VMware vSAN to AWS Native Storage, you re-architect VMs and Storage directly to EC2 with EBS/EFS/FSx—eliminating the hypervisor licensing tax.
The lowest-cost way off VMware vSAN: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support VMware vSAN → AWS Native Storage after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project with senior platform engineers.
- ✓Migrate vSAN to AWS EBS, EFS, or FSx – no hypervisor tax.
- ✓Legacy vSAN stays compliant during full refactoring.
- ✓24/7 US-based support before, during, and after migration.
VMware clustering not supported natively
We handle re‑architecture of WSFC clusters to AWS Native shared Storage – no multicast, no proprietary dependencies.
Unsupported OS versions on target
We test every VM for OS compatibility with current AWS AMIs and provide a validated upgrade path before migration.
Hard‑coded VM properties cause failures
We audit VMs for stale IPs, disk IDs, and multicast references. Our feasibility study flags every hard‑coded property.
VMware vSAN → AWS Native Storage migration — your questions answered
Can we migrate WSFC clusters from vSAN to AWS?+
We re-architect Windows Server Failover Clusters to use AWS Native shared Storage (FSx for Windows File Server) and Elastic Network Interfaces. No multicast dependency, no proprietary clustering.
What about VMs with unsupported OS versions?+
Yes. We test each VM image against current AWS AMI compatibility and provide a validated migration path. Unsupported OS versions may require an in-place upgrade before the move.
How do you handle hard-coded VM properties?+
We audit VMs for hard-coded disk IDs and IP addresses, then adjust configuration scripts or use AWS tagging to avoid post-migration failures. Our feasibility study identifies all such items.
What support do we get on the legacy vSAN during migration?+
Your existing vSAN stays under Broadcom vendor support as long as your contract is active. If the renewal lapses, we provide independent third‑party support for most operational issues (excluding vendor patches). You move on your timeline, not theirs.
