How we support VMware vSAN → Ceph (Stand-alone SDS) after migration

  • Fixed-scope migration with senior platform engineers.
  • Vendor support stays active during your entire move.
  • Third-party support covers most issues if renewal lapses.
  • Scale Ceph storage independently, no hardware lock-in.
  • 24/7 US-based support from project start to post-migration.
  • 40-70% savings on legacy platform support while migrating.

License Shock

Broadcom licensing changes are forcing you to re-evaluate your storage stack – but you can't afford a rushed, high-risk migration.

Runaway Storage Costs

Your vSAN storage is growing exponentially, and paying per-TB for proprietary support is crushing your budget. You need a scalable, cost-predictable alternative.

Migration Complexity Fear

You're worried about migrating vSAN storage policies, native replication, encryption keys, and vSphere metrics – you need a team that's done this before.

VMware vSAN → Ceph (Stand-alone SDS) migration — your questions answered

How do you handle vSAN storage policy profiles during migration?+

Your vSAN storage policies are recreated in Ceph using equivalent CRUSH rules and placement groups. Our engineers map each policy to Ceph's native capabilities, ensuring data protection and performance meet your requirements. No vendor contract is needed during this step.

What about native vSphere replication – can I keep it during migration?+

vSphere replication is not directly migrated. We use a parallel data copy approach: while vSphere replication continues on the source, we sync data to Ceph. Once validated, you cut over with minimal downtime. Your existing replication can run until the final switch.

How do you handle vSAN encryption keys – do I need to re-encrypt?+

vSAN encryption keys are exported and re-imported into Ceph's key management system. We coordinate with your security team to ensure key rotation and access controls remain intact. No data is left unencrypted at any stage.

Will I lose visibility into storage metrics after moving to Ceph?+

Yes, we integrate vSphere storage metrics with Ceph via a custom exporter. This allows you to monitor capacity, IOPS, and latency from your existing vCenter dashboards. No disruption to your operational workflows.
