Kantrix Migrate

Every VMware renewal
is your next project.

Each renewal letter starts a conversation about what comes next. Make sure it's with you. Kantrix Migrate moves your customers' VMs onto Kantrix. The tool is free, our engineers support you live, and the original VM stays as your fallback until the customer signs off.

01What it's worth to you

One customer. Three ways you get paid.

  1. Assess

    A reason to call every VMware customer

    Offer a free exit assessment: what they run, what it costs them today, and what moving would take.

  2. Move

    A project you quote

    The migration is your work and your invoice. Migrate itself costs you nothing.

  3. Run

    Revenue every month after

    Once it's on Kantrix, every node is a line on your monthly invoice, at the price you set.

02How a migration runs

Six steps, with a way back at every one.

  1. 1

    Assess

    List the customer's VMs, their operating systems and sizes. Choose what moves first: a workload that matters, but not the one the business can't live without for an hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare

    Enrol Kantrix nodes at the site. Put a backup inside each guest you'll move, and record a test restore before anything else happens.

  3. 3

    Connect

    Point Migrate at the customer's vCenter or ESXi host. The connection is encrypted and set up for that one job.

  4. 4

    Copy

    Migrate copies the VM onto the new nodes, with our engineers on hand if you want them.

  5. 5

    Cut over

    Start the VM on Kantrix and check it with the customer.

  6. 6

    Keep the fallback

    Switch the original VM off, but don't delete it, until the customer signs off. If anything is wrong, switch it back on.

03Free, with live support

You're never on your own mid-migration.

Migrate costs nothing, and every migration comes with live support from the people who build it. Design partners go further: we build what Migrate does next with you, on your customers' real workloads.

  • The tool is free, for every partner and every customer.
  • Live support from our engineers while you migrate: 24/7 for Authorized partners and above, business hours for Registered.
  • Whatever your customers run on VMware, bring it to us. We'll plan the move with you.
  • The original VM stays as your fallback until the customer signs off.
04Design partners

Prove it with us on one VM.

Pick one workload from a customer facing a renewal. A Kantrix founder runs the first migration with you, with the original switched off as the fallback. You keep the method for every customer after, and what you learn shapes what Migrate does next.

05What you take to the customer

The VMware exit kit.

Exit assessment

A short template you fill in with the customer: what they run, what renewal will cost, what moving takes.

Proposal outline

The project, the order VMs move in, and the monthly price afterwards, ready for your letterhead.

Cutover checklist

Backups tested, fallback kept, sign-off recorded. The same steps on every migration.

06Questions

About migrating.

Does Migrate cost anything?

No. The tool is free and live support is included. The project is yours to quote.

What if a cutover goes wrong?

Switch the original VM back on. That's why it stays switched off, not deleted, until the customer signs off.

Who runs the migration?

You do, with Migrate and our engineers on call. Design partners run their first one with a Kantrix founder.

What does the customer need on site?

Any x86 machine for Kantrix, a network that can reach their vCenter or ESXi host, and a backup inside each VM you move.

Bring your first VMware customer across.

The application takes about five minutes.
