VirtualReady

< Back

Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has led to steep price increases, licensing changes, and shifting support structures, leaving customers with rising costs and uncertainty. Exploring alternatives such as Nutanix is essential, and assessing VMware dependencies and the true risks and costs of migration is complex and overwhelming, which stalls progress and leaves businesses exposed.

VirtualReady analyzes your virtual estate on data you can trust, plans the waves with application dependencies attached, and executes the cutover with automation you approve and can reverse. It connects vCenter, ITSM and CMDB, Nutanix, storage, and major cloud platforms, and unites what they report into one continuously updated view of the estate.

Analyze your virtual estate, plan for the future, automate and de-risk your migration with ReadyWorks VirtualReady.

The Challenge

Your virtualization estate is described across virtualization management, ITSM, CMDB, storage, and endpoint tools that disagree with each other. Dependencies stay hidden, capacity signals are missed, and planning falls back to spreadsheets.

That gap is what makes a platform exit risky. A migration wave sequenced against stale dependency data takes applications down, and automation applied to inaccurate data accelerates the wrong decisions. VirtualReady addresses the data before it moves anything.

How VirtualReady Works

Analyze. VirtualReady connects to virtualization management, ITSM and CMDB, storage, and cloud platforms and reconciles them into one cleansed view of the estate. Quality scoring surfaces missing and conflicting records, so you know where the data is thin before you plan against it. Day-one connectors to VMware and Nutanix mean analysis starts immediately.

Plan. Application context is attached to every VM: dependencies, usage, compatibility, and lifecycle stage. Waves are sequenced by how applications actually connect rather than by server lists, capacity modeling estimates migration duration against available network throughput, and inventory visualization surfaces the outliers, such as VMs over 5 TB, before they become bottlenecks. License exposure is visible alongside the plan, so the cost of the move and the cost of staying are both known.

Execute. The ReadyAI control plane runs the cutover: scheduling, stakeholder communications, job and ticket creation, readiness checks, and rollback. Every action is logged, explainable, and reversible, with your approval required on high-impact steps. VirtualReady delivers full value with AI turned off.

Benefits

Rapid Implementation Day-one connectors to Nutanix and VMware, enabling quick action.
Trusted Data Quality scoring across every connected system, so missing and conflicting records surface before they shape the plan.
Immediate Impact Inventory visualization to identify potential issues like VMs over 5 TB before they become bottlenecks.
Application Context Dependencies, usage, compatibility, and lifecycle stage on every VM, so you see what a move will affect before it runs.
Enterprise-Grade Planning Organize VMs the way a program is run, with waves, owners, readiness, and schedule alongside the engineering detail.
Predictive Modeling Model migration duration based on network capacity to avoid slowdowns.
Governed Automation Minimize downtime, reduce risk, and increase migration speed, with approval on high-impact steps and rollback available throughout.
License Cost Visibility See license exposure across the estate and what a move changes, covering VM migration and the planning and execution work around it.
Compliance Support Audit trail of migration steps, providing peace of mind and supporting efforts to meet regulatory standards.
Executive Insights Reporting tailored for stakeholders and decision-makers, translating technical processes into actionable business insights.

Vendor Neutrality

A platform exit is a decision about which vendor to depend on, and a tool supplied by a party to that decision carries its interest into the analysis. ReadyWorks earns nothing from where your workloads run, so the assessment covers the estate as it is and the recommendation follows the data. A platform that can recommend staying is believed when it recommends moving.

Beyond the Virtual Estate

VirtualReady installs the same data fabric, application context layer, and ReadyAI control plane that carry every other ReadyWorks solution. The migration ends, and the estate continues, so the same platform runs the day-to-day operations that follow: capacity, patching, compliance, and the next transformation program. Day-to-day operations and transformation programs, on one platform.
