Migration Scenarios

From Where You Are to Where You Need to Be

Every migration is different. We adapt our approach to your starting point and objectives.

Whether you're running bare-metal servers, legacy virtualization, or already in the cloud and need to optimize — we design a migration path that minimizes risk and maximizes value.

Common Migration Paths

Legacy to Nutanix
Physical servers and traditional SAN/NAS to hyper-converged infrastructure
VMware to Nutanix
On-Prem to Hybrid
Extend on-premises to AWS/Azure with Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2)
Cloud Repatriation
Bring workloads back from public cloud for cost or compliance reasons

Methodology

Our Migration Approach

1. Discovery

Inventory existing infrastructure, applications, and dependencies. Understand performance requirements, compliance constraints, and business priorities.

2. Strategy

Define the target architecture, migration waves, and rollback plans. Choose the right approach for each workload: rehost, refactor, or rebuild.

3. Execution

Migrate in planned waves with validation gates. Automated tooling for bulk migrations, manual handling for complex workloads.

4. Optimization

Post-migration performance tuning, cost optimization, monitoring setup, and knowledge transfer to your operations team.

Services

Cloud Migration Services

Migration Assessment

Comprehensive analysis of your current environment. Application mapping, dependency analysis, TCO comparison, and migration readiness scoring.

Architecture Design

Target architecture for your hybrid cloud. Networking, storage, compute sizing, security zones, and high availability design.

Workload Migration

Execute the migration with automated tooling. VM migrations, data transfers, application cutover with minimal downtime.

Application Modernization

Containerize legacy applications for Kubernetes. Refactor monoliths into microservices where it makes sense.

Hybrid Cloud Setup

Configure Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) for seamless extension to AWS or Azure. One management plane across environments.

Knowledge Transfer

Train your team on the new platform. Runbooks, documentation, and hands-on sessions so you're self-sufficient.
