Abstract:

The market changing acquisition of VMware by Broadcom has rippled through the IT industry.
Virtualization costs keep climbing. Licensing terms keep shifting. AI and edge workloads need real-time visibility that legacy infrastructure can’t deliver. Moving away from lock-in virtualization is no longer optional.

Enterprises are choosing SUSE Virtualization to run VMs and containers on one open,
Kubernetes-native platform. Simply leaping to modernization with no vendor lock-in. But getting from VMware to a production cluster is where many teams need help.

Raine Curtis, Global Services Portfolio Technical Manager, walks you through the SUSE Migration Launch Pad: four structured services that take you from initial assessment to a fully migrated production environment.

What’s covered:

● Platform Validation

● Estate Audit

● Production Cluster Build

● VM Migration in Waves

● Coriolis migration tool that automates migrations from VMware, cloud providers and SAP

Who should watch this session: Infrastructure and IT ops teams actively evaluating VMware
alternatives or scoping a migration project.
