Migration Challenges

If you’re modernizing your virtualization infrastructure, you’ve probably discovered that migrating thousands of virtual machines (VMs) takes far longer than anyone anticipated. For IT leaders who haven’t overseen a VM migration in a decade or more, this long timeline often comes as a surprise. What many assumed would take a few weeks can stretch into months or even years.

This extended migration window creates compounding challenges. Organizations find themselves maintaining duplicate infrastructure: two sets of hardware, two license agreements, and two operations teams. The costs add up quickly.
