VMWare Migration

The Solution for High VMware Costs

WE EVALUATE MIGRATION SCENARIOS WITH YOU FOR FREE TO SWITCH TO A MORE COST-EFFECTIVE AND ESTABLISHED VIRTUALIZATION ENVIRONMENT!

After Broadcom Inc. acquired the software company VMware in November 2023, a new licensing model was introduced. This has led to a significant increase in licensing costs and added complexity for many VMware customers.

Due to this unsatisfactory situation for many VMware users, many companies are now looking for alternative virtualization solutions.

peaknetworks offers an established virtualization environment in highly available, state-of-the-art data centers in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany as an alternative.

Migrating to a new virtualization platform is straightforward but still requires careful planning and the necessary expertise.

To facilitate your transition to a more cost-effective yet powerful virtualization environment, we offer a free evaluation of possible migration scenarios.

Our recommended approach includes the following three steps:

1. Analysis of the Current Environment

We begin with an analysis of your existing VMware infrastructure. This includes examining hardware and software configurations, usage patterns, and the specific requirements of your applications and systems and their interdependencies.

2. Migration Planning

Based on the analysis results, we develop a migration plan with you that includes the necessary steps for a smooth transition of your IT infrastructure.

3. Pilot Project

We generally recommend conducting a small pilot project in which selected systems can be tested in the new environment.

This minimizes potential risks and ensures that the new platform meets your expectations and ultimately runs as well as or better than before.

Schedule an appointment today for the free evaluation of possible migration scenarios for your VMware environment to the peaknetworks private cloud.

We look forward to finding the best solution for your IT infrastructure and assisting you in transitioning to a simpler and more cost-effective virtualization environment.

Advantages of Migration to peaknetworks VPS

Migrating from VMware to XCP-ng is straightforward. The VM is exported from VMware and imported into XCP-ng. After the import, the VMware Guest Tools are uninstalled, and the new XCP-ng Management Tools are installed.

You will then receive a Wireguard VPN access through which you can administer your VM or multiple VMs (access to the console/start/stop, reboot, snapshots, etc.)

We take care of operations 24/7.

You can choose between server locations in Austria, the eco-friendly one in Switzerland, or Germany.
