Transitioning from VMware to Apache CloudStack: A Path to Profitability and Competitiveness

In this session, we will explore the potential of migrating from VMware to Apache CloudStack with KVM. VMware vSphere is a robust cloud infrastructure and management solution that combines vSphere and vRealize Suite, providing automation and operations capabilities for traditional and modern infrastructure and apps. However, the transition to Apache CloudStack can offer enhanced profitability and competitiveness. We will delve into the benefits of Apache CloudStack, including its cost-effectiveness and open-source nature, and discuss how a gradual migration from VMware vCloud can reduce ownership costs, increase profitability, and enhance competitiveness. We will also cover the practical steps and considerations in planning and executing this transition effectively. *Marco Sinhoreli* Apache CloudStack Commiter I am a Technical Marketing Manager at ShapeBlue, the leading global provider of cloud infrastructure solutions, and an Apache CloudStack expert.
