Proven vSAN to NetApp migration by senior engineers
Yes, migrating from VMware vSAN to NetApp ONTAP is a straightforward project. Our senior engineers handle it end-to-end in a fixed scope.
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 → NetApp ONTAP after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope migration by senior platform engineers
- ✓vSAN stays under vendor support until NetApp is live
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy support while you plan
- ✓Seamless transition with no forced big-bang cutover
- ✓24/7 US-based post-migration support
- ✓Regain predictable NetApp ONTAP storage performance
vSAN performance bottlenecks
Software-defined storage can’t keep up with your critical workloads. Latency spikes and inconsistent IOPS impact applications and user experience.
Rising Broadcom licensing costs
Your vSAN budget is being squeezed by large licensing increases. Replacing vSAN with dedicated NetApp ONTAP removes that variable cost entirely.
Complex migration risks (SPBM, encryption, local disks)
Storage policies, native vSphere encryption keys, and ESXi host-local disk dependencies make moving data feel risky. We handle every technical detail so you stay in control.
VMware vSAN → NetApp ONTAP migration — your questions answered
What happens to my vSAN storage policies (SPBM) during migration?+
Our engineers map your existing SPBM policies to equivalent NetApp ONTAP data services. We handle the translation so your application requirements stay intact.
How are native vSphere encryption keys handled when moving to NetApp?+
We follow a controlled key-transfer process to preserve encryption continuity. Your data remains encrypted throughout the migration with no rekeying needed on your end.
What about ESXi host-level local storage dependencies?+
We assess each host’s local storage configuration before beginning. Any local-disk dependency is migrated or safely decommissioned as part of the project scope.
What if our vSAN vendor contract lapses mid-project?+
Your vSAN stays under vendor support as long as your contract is active. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform while we complete the move. It is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches.
Move from vSAN to NetApp ONTAP with confidence
Your vSAN clusters stay supported until dedicated NetApp ONTAP storage is fully live. No downtime. No forced cutover. Just a fixed-scope migration run by senior engineers. After the move, we offer managed NetApp storage administration and replication management so your team stays focused on business priorities.
