Yes! Nutanix AHV supports a wide range of virtual machines (VMs) and workloads, similar to VMware. It is designed to handle various enterprise workloads, including traditional applications, cloud-native applications, and containers. It offers advanced virtualization features such as VM live migration, dynamic scheduling, VM high availability (HA), and metro clustering1. Additionally, Nutanix AHV provides a centralized image management service, allowing administrators to import and convert existing virtual disk formats, including raw, .vhd, .vmdk, .vdi, and .qcow2
Using ReadyWorks connectors you can integrate all relevant data on your current VMware estate and use data scoring to correct mismatches, poll data owners for more information, and gain a holistic view of your environment. This means you are best equipped to understand your future VMware requirements and costs.
With a holistic view of your current VMware environment, you are in the best position to understand how the VMware platform will support your needs in the future. It will also allow you to see if you are paying for any services you aren’t using and identify the services and support you need in the new Nutanix environment.
Using ReadyWorks Ascend plus Nutanix Move you can rank applications based on criticality using factors, including the number of users, to understand what applications must be tested in the new environment. Testing workflows can be automated to reduce testing time and remove human error from the process.
The risks associated with any migration to another platform include application compatibility, downtime and service disruption, loss of data, and regulatory compliance.
Using ReadyWorks Ascend plus Nutanix Move these risks are removed as by connecting to all relevant systems you can rapidly gain a holistic view of your current VMware environment. Rich analytics capabilities allow you to identify dependencies and a clear migration plan to avoid service disruption, while automated workflows, including application testing, ensure your migration occurs only when your environment is ready. All of this is managed with fully integrated compliance.
