Technology-Driven VMware to OpenStack Migration: A Comprehensive Guide
The VMware to OpenStack Migration white paper highlights how Broadcom’s VMware acquisition has driven concerns over vendor lock-in and costs, prompting organizations to consider OpenStack for its open-source flexibility and lower TCO. OpenStack offers cost savings, vendor neutrality, and faster innovation but migration requires careful planning—categorizing apps into refactor, rehost, replatform, or retire strategies. Trilio for OpenStack provides automated migration with discovery, planning workflows, and options for dry-run, cold, or warm migration to balance downtime and risk. Its tools convert VMware blueprints to OpenStack and enable scalable, predictable transitions. Ultimately, migrating unlocks cloud-native agility, future-proofing, and freedom from vendor constraints.
