I definitely don't want to miniminize the significance of this. This is huge!
But, they did have some major benefits that most companies looking to do the same won't:
> Anexia therefore resolved to migrate, a choice made easier by its ownership of another hosting business called Netcup that ran on a KVM-based platform.
> The hosting company is also a big user of NetApp storage, so customer data was already stored in a resource independent of its VMware rig – any new VMs would just need to be pointed at existing volumes.
Again, still a great accomplishment and an exciting milestone for them, but for people still stuck on VMWare that are looking to migrate, it's good to know about the above things.
- tw04 2y agoOther than the additional capital outlay, this shouldn't prove a hurdle to anyone looking to do similar. Migrating from VSAN to external storage like NetApp is a non-disruptive process. And frankly VSAN has always been pretty horrible, so you'll likely end up with better performance and storage efficiency when all is said and done.
