Two specialized migration practices, one independent advisor

We don't sell platforms. We assess your environment, match you to the right destination and partner, and stay accountable through cutover.

PRACTICE 01

VMware Migration & Exit

Post-acquisition licensing changes have forced every VMware shop to re-evaluate. Renew, re-platform, or move to a hyperscaler — the right answer depends entirely on your estate. We model it objectively.

Then we match you with the migration partner who can execute your chosen path, and we oversee the work end to end.

VMware estate migrating to best-fit platforms and cloud

Estate & licensing analysis

A clear inventory of hosts, cores, VMs, and current contract terms — with the true cost of renewing modeled against alternatives.

Target platform evaluation

Nutanix AHV, Microsoft Azure / Azure VMware Solution, AWS, Proxmox, and others — scored against your performance, DR, and budget requirements.

Partner selection & oversight

We shortlist vetted migration partners, run the commercial process, and stay engaged through cutover to hold them to the plan.

Risk & cutover planning

Dependency mapping, rollback strategy, and a phased cutover sequence so production is never the test.

Workload assessment

AIX, IBM i, and Linux on Power inventory — LPARs, capacity, interdependencies, and the constraints that rule destinations in or out.

Cloud destination matching

IBM Power Virtual Server and partner-operated Power clouds, compared on capacity, region, DR posture, and commercial model.

Capacity & DR modeling

Right-sized capacity and a disaster-recovery design modeled before you sign — no surprises on the first invoice.

Migration partner & oversight

A partner who knows the Power platform end to end, sourced and managed by us through go-live.

PRACTICE 02

IBM Power Cloud Migration

Aging Power hardware and refresh cycles are pushing AIX and IBM i workloads toward the cloud. But Power isn't x86 — the destination and the partner have to genuinely understand the platform.

We help you select the right Power-in-the-cloud option for your workloads and a partner equipped to migrate them safely.

THE ENGAGEMENT

The same independent process, either practice

01 · ASSESS

Document the estate, costs, and constraints before anyone proposes a solution.

02 · MATCH

Shortlist platforms and partners, scored against your requirements.

03 · NEGOTIATE

Run commercials and scope around your timeline, not a vendor's quota.

04 · OVERSEE

Stay through cutover, holding the partner accountable to the plan.

Not sure which path is right?

That's exactly what the assessment is for. Tell us about your environment and we'll lay out the real options.
