VMware to Hyper-V Migration Accelerator: 3-Week Assessment & Roadmap
BitSummit Corp
VMware to Hyper-V Migration Accelerator is a fixed-scope, 3-week assessment that gives VMware customers a costed, de-risked roadmap to migrate to Microsoft Hyper-V, without committing to a full migration on day one.
Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has driven license costs sharply higher for many organizations. Most "VMware alternative" engagements assume you are moving to a new cloud platform entirely, or bury a Hyper-V path deep inside a much larger project. This engagement answers one question: what would it cost, in time and dollars, to move this environment onto Hyper-V, and what is the concrete plan to do it. Discovery runs on Azure Migrate's VMware assessment tooling, the same engine Microsoft uses for its own migration guidance. If your organization already holds Windows Server Datacenter edition, Hyper-V is included at no additional licensing cost, and this assessment quantifies that saving explicitly.
The engagement helps your organization get started with Microsoft Azure migration tooling and extend the value of the Windows Server licensing you already own.
