VMware Migrations made fast and easy
We bring more to every cloud migration
Overview
With the recent acquisition of VMware, companies are likely to expect a 3.5x - 10x increase in their VMware licensing costs if they stay with antiquated on-premises storage. In unstable times, the right partner can keep you grounded. Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) is the answer and Slalom has the experience and expertise in cloud migration to make your VMware workload migration simple.
Rehosting your data on Google Cloud is fast and, typically, the cost of hosting and licensing ends up being roughly cost-neutral compared to your older VMware licensing costs. Besides completing your migration in a matter of weeks, not months or years, moving to GCVE lowers the barrier to entry for cloud adoption, enables a more strategic and phased approach to application, and eliminates the need for complex code rewrites often associated with cloud migrations.
Key Trends for GCVE:
-
Cost Efficiency: Potentially reduce your costs with pay-as-you-go pricing, price guarantees, and optimized resource utilization
-
Agility: Respond quickly to business needs with on-demand infrastructure
-
Innovation: Legacy on-premises systems can hinder your ability to innovate and scale rapidly

How Slalom migrated a massive data center in 7 weeks
Viant, an Irvine-based Adtech company, partnered with Slalom to migrate a data center which included migrating 600 virtual machines, 200+ TB of data, and 100 physical servers to Google Cloud.
When deciding on your migration strategy for VMware, we know speed and accuracy are key. Slalom’s demonstrated ability to execute complex migrations within demanding timelines, as seen with Viant’s 7-week data center evacuation linked below, builds trust and reinforces Google Cloud’s migration capabilities.
