CAST unveiled a new plugin to help companies
swiftly migrate from VMware to cost-efficient cloud alternatives. Given the
complexity of many VMware configurations, businesses transitioning off those
platforms are expected to face hundreds of hours in staff time expense and risk
introducing errors to critical systems.
"Many of
these VMware deployments happened 20 years ago, so the institutional knowledge
necessary for a smooth process is no longer available," said Greg Rivera,
Vice President at CAST. "Integrated into CAST Highlight, this plugin
empowers leaders with a fact-based, streamlined sequence for migration."
CAST Highlight
reads and understands application source code, generating the ideal pathway to
transition off VMware including:
- Which
applications to rehost, containerize, rearchitect, rebuild, or
retire
- Migration
blockers in the code and how to address them
- Migration
effort estimates
- Best-fit
cloud-native alternatives on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle
Cloud, and IBM Cloud
The plugin is
available free of charge as part of CAST Highlight, integrated into the
platform's suite of dashboards, heatmaps and application
drilldowns.
