Many organisations are currently evaluating alternatives to VMware as they rethink their infrastructure strategy. Vendor independence, predictable costs, and predictable operations are becoming key drivers for change.
This webinar, available by filling in the form, shows you why Apache CloudStack is a proven, production-ready alternative to VMware (including vSphere, NSX, and vSAN) and walks you through a real-world migration framework that enables a fast and low-risk transition to open source.
You’ll learn how to move from VMware to CloudStack in weeks, not years, using a methodology already proven in production environments.
In this session, we break down how organisations are moving from VMware to Apache CloudStack in real production environments.
You’ll see a migration approach that has already been tested and deployed, with practical insight into architecture decisions, timelines and what actually works in the real world.
This isn’t a theory or roadmap discussion. It’s a proven migration framework used by service providers and enterprises today.
You’ll gain insight into:
How every migration starts with a structured assessment of the existing VMware environment, including:
How assessment results are tunned into a concrete and realistic migration plan including:
An overview of how the CloudStack platform is prepared:
The role of a pilot phase in a successful migration:
What happens after a successful pilot:
How the VMware environment is safely and methodically retired, including controlled shutdown, final validation, and the handover to steady-state operations.
Real-World Migration Scenarios
We also reference real-world migration scenarios (abstracted) to illustrate how the migration journey is applied in practice.
To complement the high-level journey, we will include a few short live demonstrations, such as:
Apache CloudStack managing a multi-hypervisor environment
The migration tools available in the CloudStack UI
An example of running a bulk migration script
We’ll close the webinar with an interactive Q&A session where you can ask questions about your specific environment and migration challenges.
