Migrate VMs quickly and at scale to a cost-effective VMware alternative

#1669853: Migrate VMs quickly and at scale to a cost-effective VMware alternative - 14th March 2025

Description:	SPEAKER: Madhura Maskasky, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer Beleaguered enterprise IT teams are heads-down dealing with disruptive changes in the virtualisation industry. Faced with vendor lock-in, unsustainable rising costs and limited flexibility, they are also under pressure from their business teams to provide a more agile and feature-rich private cloud experience. Reports are that enterprises are busily migrating tens of thousands of their VMware virtual machines (VMs) – with costs ranging from $300 to $3,000 per-VM. Enterprises looking to migrate away from VMware are looking for VMware alternatives that meet all enterprise requirements, such as critical enterprise virtualisation features (HA, DRS, networking, scale, reliability), migration tooling automation that significantly lowers cost barrier, and compatibility with existing VMware hardware environments (including third-party storage). Join this revealing webinar in which The Register’s James Hayes hears from Madhura Maskasky, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, about the real reasons why enterprises are migrating thousands of VMware virtual machines across to Platform9’s Private Cloud Director using its vJailbreak open source product. Madhura will also share VMware replacement customer case study insights, and much more. In this webinar you will learn about: How to get the simplest private cloud experience with all the enterprise-grade features of VMware, including HA, DRS, advanced networking, scale, and reliability. How you can continue to leverage existing investments in server, storage, backup and networking infrastructure – and retain flexibility into the future. How a Fortune Global 150 enterprise is migrating 40,000 VMs to Platform9’s Private Cloud Director at $35 per-VM, moving 200+ VMs per-day using vJailbreak.
