A migration process built to be safe
Five clear stages, one client at a time. Your VMware source stays untouched until you sign off.
Overview
Five steps, one client at a time
- 01
Assess
We inventory your VMs, networks, storage and dependencies.
- 02
Plan
A target OpenStack design, migration order and cutover windows.
- 03
Pilot
A test project proves the conversion before production moves.
- 04
Migrate
Workloads move in scheduled waves, each validated with rollback ready.
- 05
Hand over
Billing and access switch over, and you sign off on the new service.
Step 01
Assess
Know exactly what you have
We inventory your VMware estate and map every dependency before planning anything.
- VM, network and storage inventory
- Application dependencies
- Operating systems and versions
- Risks and blockers flagged
Step 02
Plan
Design the target and the order
We design your OpenStack project and group workloads into migration waves with agreed cutover windows.
- OpenStack target design
- Migration waves and order
- Cutover windows agreed with you
- Rollback plan per workload
Step 03
Pilot
Prove it before production
A test project migrates a sample of your workloads so issues are found early — not on cutover day.
- Sample VMs converted
- Network and storage tested
- Performance checked
- Plan updated from results
Step 04
Migrate
Move in scheduled waves
Workloads move wave by wave. Each one is validated, and the original stays ready for rollback.
- Data copied while VMs run
- Short scheduled cutovers
- Validation after each move
- Rollback ready at every step
Step 05
Hand over
Switch billing and access
Your service, billing and portal access move to the new OpenStack service, and you sign off.
- Billing and access switched
- Documentation handed over
- Final checks with your team
- VMware source retired
