Migrate from VMware to Red Hat OpenStack Platform
A seamless software-based solution to migrate live production clouds without disrupting ongoing operations
Trilio’s in-band approach to VMware migration helps organizations implement an effective organization-wide migration strategy.
Intelligent migration that's a snap
Trilio’s tenant-driven workflows discover VMware workloads and extract their data and associated metadata. Trilio creates these resources on the OpenStack platform, then gives users maximum flexibility to remap VMware constructs to OpenStack constructs. Users can repeatedly execute
migration plans until they are 100% confident that migration workloads meet their business needs.
- Placeholder VMs are created along with Networking, Security Groups and Storage Volumes
- Map VMware network configurations to OpenStack subnets and netmasks
- Assign Security groups for each instance
- Choose VM flavors and VM metadata on OpenStack
- Map Datastores to Volume types on OpenStack
- Placeholder VMs are tested for boot operation and communication with related VMs
- Trilio’s Data Mover copies data from VMware VMs to the newly staged OpenStack VMs
- See the virt-v2v support page to confirm Hypervisor and Guest compatibility
Integrated and Optimized for VMware to Red Hat OpenStack Platform Migrations
Trilio as a natively integrated service. Seamlessly build migration plans leveraging Trilio’s UI, API or CLI; or, couple Ansible Automation practices with Trilio to automate the migration process.
Unlimited Scale
With an agentless architecture grow a migration plan from 10 or 10,000 workloads - with both cold and warm virtual machine migrations supported.
Reporting
Through familiar Horizon workflows or other 3rd party tools, a user can provide reporting and transparency.
Non-Disruptive
Full and Incremental snapshot capture of entire workloads
OpenStack Integrated
Fully integrated as a service in OpenStack, documented RESTful API and native OpenStack CLI
Self-Service
Trilio's features a Horizon plugin offering an intuitively designed GUI that enhances ease of use and incorporates valuable user feedback to improve task efficiency. Trilio aims to simplify backup and restore operations, empowering both administrator and tenant. From a Single Pane of Glass drive migrations as ITOps or enable tenants with self-service migration capabilities.
Testing and Validation
Applications can be large and complex and the migration of an application must be executed with 100% accuracy. With Trilio, conduct unlimited functional and performance tests on both migrated applications and data, either from 'new prod' or a point-in-time backup after the migration. This comprehensive testing ensures confidence when transitioning from VMware to OpenStack at your preferred pace.
