Nutanix partner for VMware migrations
Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure and AHV for organizations moving off VMware after Broadcom's licensing changes.
The short answer
WCC is a Nutanix partner that sells and installs Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure in Southern California. Most of our Nutanix work today is helping organizations move off VMware after Broadcom's licensing changes, using Nutanix's AHV hypervisor and the Nutanix Move migration tool. Nutanix runs compute, storage and virtualization on one platform managed from Prism.
Why now
Why organizations are looking at Nutanix
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, perpetual licenses have ended and VMware is sold as subscription bundles, which raised renewal costs sharply for many mid-size organizations. Nutanix is one of the main alternatives: its AHV hypervisor is included with the platform, and Nutanix Move migrates existing VMware virtual machines with limited downtime. See virtualization for the full set of options.
