Fortune 500 Global Enterprise Migrating 40,000 VMs from VMware to Platform9 Private Cloud Director
A Fortune 500 enterprise spanning industrial, energy, transport, and health sectors is migrating 40,000 VMs from VMware to Platform9 Private Cloud Director to cut costs, avoid license lock-in, and ensure scalability. After a rigorous PoC, Platform9 was chosen for delivering VMware-equivalent features (DRS, vMotion, VM-HA), deep Tintri storage integration, and vJailbreak automation for bulk migration. The phased plan spans months, migrating 200 VMs/day at just $35 per VM—1/10th analyst estimates. Platform9’s SaaS-managed model, intuitive UI, and centralized management simplify operations, while open integration ensures business continuity and cost predictability.
