Wind River has been helping organizations seamlessly migrate virtual machine (VM) and container workloads from VMware by leveraging its unique automation capabilities—even in some of the world’s most complex and demanding cloud networks.
The migration of VMs and containers from VMware vSphere to the Wind River® Cloud Platform leverages OpenStack and Kubernetes to host both workload types within a single, integrated environment. This open, flexible, and cost-effective platform equips organizations with the tools needed to deploy and manage private cloud infrastructure globally, supporting both Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) workloads across a geo-distributed network.
The migration process is designed to minimize disruption and accelerate time to value. Additionally, the platform allows organizations to migrate VMs during scheduled maintenance windows or even while they remain active, providing the flexibility needed to align with diverse business requirements.
Furthermore, the Wind River Professional Services team supports organizations through complex migration projects by delivering an end-to-end migration plan that ensures efficient infrastructure rollout, smooth workload transition, and reliable Day 2 operations. Throughout the process, Cloud Platform tools, expert support, and professional services work together to help organizations meet their migration objectives with confidence.
Wind River has provided OpenStack-based solutions for many years and has since advanced its architecture to seamlessly integrate Kubernetes within a single, unified technology stack. This modern platform is powered by StarlingX, a leading open-source project purpose-built for edge and cloud-native deployments.
With an integrated platform, automated orchestration, and built-in analytics, organizations can confidently optimize their private cloud environments while delivering low-latency performance for edge and near-edge environments. Whether migrating from traditional VM workloads or enhancing existing private cloud operations, Wind River Cloud Platform delivers the reliability, flexibility, and cost efficiency enterprises need.
