Trust Our Proven vSphere to OpenStack Migration
Migrating VMware vSphere to OpenStack is a well-understood project. We handle the full vSphere to OpenStack conversion—storage dependencies, networking, workloads—with senior engineers on a fixed scope.
The lowest-cost way off VMware vSphere: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support VMware vSphere → OpenStack after migration
- ✓Senior platform engineers execute your full vSphere to OpenStack conversion.
- ✓Fixed-scope projects eliminate budget surprises—no hidden costs.
- ✓Sustain vSphere operations while we build your new open-source cloud.
- ✓24/7 US-based support covers your legacy platform post-migration.
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy support vs. vendor renewal during your move.
- ✓Proven migration to canonical OpenStack for telecom and finance.
Compliance, cost, and NFV pressure
Sovereign cloud mandates require a platform you control. VMware licensing at scale creates unpredictable overhead that strains cloud operations budgets. NFV upgrades demand an open, multi-vendor foundation.
Proprietary storage lock-in
Your team depends on vSphere-specific storage features like array-based replication and deduplication. Moving to OpenStack without proven abstraction can break backup and disaster recovery workflows.
Missing Linux and container skills
Post-migration, someone must manage OpenStack. Without internal Linux or Kubernetes experience, operations risk slowdowns or misconfigurations that undermine your new cloud investment.
VMware vSphere → OpenStack migration — your questions answered
How do we migrate without disrupting production?+
Yes. We sustain your vSphere environment under vendor support (as long as your contract is active) while building the OpenStack foundation. If the vendor renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on vSphere. This is not a big-bang cutover—you migrate on your timeline.
What about proprietary storage features vSphere depends on?+
We handle storage abstraction during the vSphere to OpenStack conversion. Proprietary storage features (e.g., array-based replication, deduplication) are mapped to OpenStack-compatible alternatives. Our engineers have deep experience with telecom and financial workloads that depend on these features.
We lack Linux/K8s skills. How do we manage OpenStack after the move?+
We manage OpenStack operations post-migration through our Managed OpenStack Cloud service. You do not need a large internal Linux/Kubernetes team. Our senior engineers handle upgrades, monitoring, and scaling—you get a fully operated private cloud.
How long does a VMware to OpenStack migration take?+
Controlled migrations. Typical timeline is 6–12 months with 3–6 senior consultants. Budget ranges from $150,000 to $1,500,000 depending on environment complexity and workload count. Fixed scope means no cost overruns.
