VMware Migration Program
Introducing the VMware Migration Program
Shadow-Soft's VMware Migration Program provides mid-size enterprises a comprehensive, research-based approach to transition your virtualization infrastructure from VMware to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
As VMware licensing costs increase under Broadcom ownership, our program gives organizations the tools, processes, and expertise needed to successfully migrate to a more cost-effective, flexible, and open platform—without disrupting business operations. We help you navigate the entire journey with confidence, based on proven methodologies refined across dozens of successful migrations.
"Shadow-Soft's inclusion in the Partner Practice Accelerator program is exciting. Their expertise in automation and application modernization will be invaluable to enterprises leveraging Red Hat technologies. This collaboration enables us to provide commercial customers with the solutions and support they need to successfully adopt Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform."
