As organizations rethink their virtualization strategies, whether due to cost pressures, vendor changes, or a shift toward cloud-native platforms, virtual machine (VM) migrations are becoming inevitable. However, without proper planning, they can introduce risk, delay, and disruption.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how to approach VM migrations with clarity and confidence. Drawing from tested and proven customer engagements around the globe, we’ll walk through 9 essential questions that every organization should ask before beginning their migration journey. These questions cover critical dimensions including workload complexity, team readiness, network architecture, sequencing, rollback planning, and success metrics.
