Escaping VMware’s costs and constraints
Free your infrastructure from VMware licensing and complexity. Nutanix AHV delivers an enterprise-grade hypervisor included with HCI — enabling cost savings, simpler operations, and hybrid multicloud mobility with minimal risk.
VMware customers face rising licensing costs, operational complexity, and vendor lock-in. Multiple components — vCenter, vSAN, NSX — introduce cost and coordination overhead, and migration fears (downtime, disruption, risk) often keep organizations locked in.
Expensive VMware licensing and add-on components escalate TCO.
Multiple consoles and components increase management overhead.
Fear of downtime and disruption prevents modernization.
Dependence on a single vendor limits flexibility and drives costs.
Nutanix AHV is an enterprise-grade hypervisor included with Nutanix HCI at no extra cost. AHV combined with Nutanix HCI eliminates VMware licensing fees, consolidates functionality, and provides consistent performance across on-prem, edge, and public cloud (NC2).
Enterprise hypervisor without separate licensing — reduce TCO immediately.
Converged compute, storage, networking and virtualization for simpler operations.
Extend AHV and Nutanix stack into public cloud with NC2 for consistent operations.
Tech9IQ delivers low-risk, automated VMware → AHV migrations using best-practice tools and validated processes to ensure continuity, performance, and rollback safety.
Automates disk conversion (VMDK → QCOW2), driver injection, replication and migration orchestration for smooth transitions.
Near-zero downtime using Changed Block Tracking (CBT) and keep original VMs offline as a fallback until validation is complete.
Comprehensive testing, performance tuning and automated driver injection to ensure migrated VMs boot and run optimally.
Extend migrated workloads into AWS/Azure via NC2 for burst, DR, or cloud-first deployments.
End-to-end services covering assessment, automated migration, validation, and post-migration operations — so teams can move off VMware with confidence.
We map dependencies, right-size clusters, and define migration waves to minimize risk.
Nutanix Move handles conversion, replication, and cutover with minimal manual steps.
Thorough testing, rollback plans, and 24×7 support during the migration window.
