Scale Computing, a leading provider of edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, has unveiled its latest innovation to help businesses smoothly transition away from VMware. The company’s new offering, Scale Computing Migrate (SC//Migrate), aims to simplify and streamline the migration process for organizations looking to switch from VMware to Scale Computing’s HyperCore platform.
In response to Broadcom’s recent acquisition of VMware, which has resulted in changes to licensing options, increased costs, and the elimination of the partner program, many organizations are now exploring alternative virtualization solutions. According to Gartner’s 2024 “Market Guide for Full-Stack HCI Software,” it is projected that up to two-thirds of VMware customers will opt to switch platforms in the coming years. Recognizing this shift in the market, Scale Computing has developed SC//Migrate to provide a seamless migration experience for businesses seeking a reliable VMware alternative.
Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing, emphasized the importance of helping businesses navigate the uncertainty caused by Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware. He stated, “We’re committed to assisting these businesses in finding a stable and innovative partner in Scale Computing. SC//Migrate eliminates the manual configuration typically associated with migration, enabling businesses to transition with maximum efficiency and minimal downtime.”
SC//Migrate simplifies the migration process by reducing the need for manual configuration for each workload. Whether migrating from VMware, Hyper-V, or physical machines, organizations can seamlessly transition to Scale Computing’s HyperCore platform without the complexities often associated with migration tools. By automatically provisioning virtual machines (VMs) on the target SC//HyperCore cluster, SC//Migrate eliminates the need for time-consuming manual configurations, saving IT teams valuable time and resources, especially when migrating a large number of VMs.
Key benefits of SC//Migrate include the ability to migrate physical, Hyper-V, or VMware workloads directly to SC//HyperCore without the need to manually create VMs on the target system. This feature enables quick migration of tens or hundreds of VMs, reducing costs and saving time. Additionally, SC//Migrate offers a limited license window specifically tailored for migration projects, further enhancing cost-effectiveness. The solution also provides a user-friendly interface for managing backups and the entire migration process without the installation of in-guest agents, simplifying the management process for IT teams.
To facilitate a smooth transition to Scale Computing, the company is offering an SC//Migrate Quickstart Service, providing expert guidance and support to ensure a seamless and efficient migration process with minimal disruption and seamless integration with SC//HyperCore. In addition, Scale Computing has introduced two promotions to ease the transition from VMware to SC//Platform. New and existing partners looking to migrate customers to Scale Computing can take advantage of the VMware Rip & Replace promotion, offering a 25% discount on Scale Computing software and services for each new customer implementation. VMware customers seeking an alternative solution can transfer their existing software licenses and exchange their hardware through the Seamless Switch: Trade-Up to Scale Computing promotion.
