IBM Fusion

Leave VMware for IBM Fusion.

Most VMware exits start with a spreadsheet of virtual machines. What it leaves out decides the migration: oversized workloads, performance-sensitive systems and dependencies only the operators know.

  1. Assess

    IBM Turbonomic shows how each workload really uses compute, memory and storage. IBM Instana maps how your applications depend on each other.

  2. Plan the waves

    We validate storage, backup and disaster recovery, then group workloads into migration waves you can schedule.

  3. Run on IBM Fusion

    Virtual machines move to OpenShift Virtualization on IBM Fusion and run next to your containers.
