Wind River® helps enterprises smoothly migrate virtual machine and container workloads from VMware vSphere to the Wind River Cloud Platform. This platform integrates OpenStack and Kubernetes, enabling both types of workloads to run in a single, unified environment.
With its unique automation capabilities, Wind River continuously supports many enterprises in seamlessly migrating virtual machines (VMs) and container workloads from VMware in complex and demanding cloud network environments. The Wind River Cloud Platform is designed to be open, flexible, and cost-effective, providing enterprises with the tools needed to deploy and manage private cloud infrastructure globally—effectively supporting both operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) workloads across geographically distributed networks.
The entire migration process is designed to minimize business disruption and help enterprises achieve value quickly. The platform allows VM migration during scheduled maintenance windows, and even supports live migration with minimal downtime, providing the flexibility needed to meet diverse business requirements.
Wind River’s professional services team offers full support for complex migration projects, delivering end-to-end migration solutions that ensure efficient infrastructure deployment, smooth workload transition, and reliable Day 2 Operations. Throughout the process, the Wind River Cloud Platform tools, expert support, and professional services work together to help enterprises achieve migration goals with confidence.
Wind River has years of experience offering OpenStack-based solutions and has continued to evolve its architecture—now seamlessly integrating Kubernetes into a unified technology stack. This modernized platform is powered by StarlingX, an open-source project designed for edge and cloud-native deployments.
With its integrated platform, automated orchestration, and built-in analytics, enterprises can optimize their private cloud environments while ensuring low-latency performance for edge and near-edge use cases. Whether migrating from traditional VM workloads or enhancing existing private cloud operations, the Wind River Cloud Platform delivers the reliability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency enterprises need.
