Breaking Free From VMware Lock-in: Modernizing Virtualization with NetApp Shift Toolkit and Nutanix

Growing business demands and increasing infrastructure complexity have prompted many organizations to re-evaluate their virtualization strategies. A major challenge in this shift is migrating workloads away from VMware environments without introducing additional operational complexity or risk.

The NetApp Shift Toolkit addresses this challenge.

As part of the NetApp ONTAP ecosystem, the NetApp Shift Toolkit automates the conversion and migration of virtual machines between hypervisor environments. This structured approach allows organizations to leverage NetApp storage and data infrastructure as a key component of their virtualization modernization journey.

In migration scenarios involving Nutanix, the NetApp Shift Toolkit facilitates workload transfer by minimizing the need for complex manual processes. This enables IT teams to focus on workloads and applications rather than time-consuming migration tasks.

However, modernization is about more than just switching hypervisors.

With NetApp ONTAP, organizations retain enterprise-grade data management, storage efficiency, data protection, and security capabilities, along with the flexibility to support diverse workloads in modern environments. NetApp ONTAP delivers data recovery speeds 100% faster than NDMP, supports six functions aligned with the NIST framework, and achieves 99% accuracy in ransomware threat detection.

The NetApp Shift Toolkit paves the way for modernization, while NetApp ONTAP remains the foundation of the data infrastructure.

After all, virtualization modernization is about more than just leaving VMware; it is about building a data infrastructure that is flexible, efficient, and ready for future IT demands. In under five minutes, NetApp ONTAP delivers space-efficient database backups and replication—offering a solution that is simple, easy, and secure.

Modernize your workloads. Protect your data. Build your future with NetApp.
