Virtualization

New challenges (and opportunities) with VMware

VMware is a virtual machine software firm founded in Palto Alto, California in 1999.

Its programs are deployed ubiquitously in business for:

VMware is the leading virtualization software in the web hosting field making it possible for more than one instance of operating systems to run on the same server.
VMware supports all kinds of OS’s including Windows, Linux and Unix
VMware Virtual Machines Allows You to Maximize Server Resources

Clearly the easiest option as you will replace one VMware technology with another – less training
But be aware that there are some functionality changes and a partner with NSX technology expertise can help you navigate the complex upgrade path(s).
These are the options:
1. Co-existence: (add an NSX cluster to an existing NSX-V deployment.
2. Create a whole new NSX environment via ‘lift-and-shift’
3. In place migration
We can help with all 3.

*Until January 2023 NSX-V is in the VMware Technical Guidance phase and has a reduced level of technical support with fewer security patches and bug fixes*.

Everything in an organization is now interconnected.
Platforms, capabilities, and initiatives often involve multiple digital and physical technologies securely working together.
Evolve into the future. Today’s breakthrough technology is tomorrow’s legacy tech.
Achieve a greater strategic business value via capacity to change and ability to win.
Better align and execute against your business strategy to achieve your desired results of advantage and adaptability – of the organization, humans, and technology.

We can help with this too.

Migrating from NSX-V allows you to gain access to the improved features and use cases supported by NSX-T, including:

NSX V2T migration requires careful planning and preparation and for most customers, migrating from NSX-V to NSX-T will be a one-time occurrence.

This makes it a high effort migration with significant risk, given there may be no previous migration experience among your team.
Our partner has been migrating VMware customers for over a decade and are seeing real success with their NSX-V to NSX-T #managedmigration service.
Leverage their teams extensive experience on the virtualized network to supplement your existing team, thus ensuring your migration is a success.

The actual term ‘hybrid cloud’ usually refers to a single pane of management glass that lets a user administer both on prem and public clouds.
The Global Hybrid Cloud market size is projected to reach US$159.6bn by 2028, from US$6.2bn in 2021, at a CAGR of 14.3% during 2022-2028 © Digital Journal
The Infrastructure as a Service segment is expected to register the highest CAGR owing to the increasing demand to reduce IT complexities, hire a skilled workforce to manage the IT infrastructures, and reduce deployment costs for data centers to drive the adoption of IaaS

Cloud computing is no magical fix. But it is a very powerful tool that can solve a range of transformation issues.
An experienced partner with many transformations under their belt can help you avoid many of the pitfalls.
For customers with key and important uptime requirements hybrid environments can help with disaster avoidance.
If you are looking to develop apps at greater velocity having dev and test environments in secure, but flexible (no term) clouds is hugely beneficial.
