Choose a migration path that matches your current infrastructure, whether you are replacing VMware first, moving to HCI, or expanding toward AECP.
Support online migration scenarios and limited business change windows, helping teams move workloads with less operational interruption.
Modernize virtualization and cloud infrastructure while aligning with existing deployment decisions, including compute-first and hyperconverged paths.
For teams pursuing a compute-first migration while preserving trusted enterprise storage investments.
Use this path when the organization wants to reduce VMware dependency without redesigning the storage architecture on day one. AVE provides the virtualization foundation, while external storage compatibility should be validated during migration assessment.
For teams replacing VMware ESXi with Arcfra Virtualization Engine and core HCI.
Use this path when the immediate priority is to modernize the virtualization layer combined with distributed storage. Move VM workloads to AECP's KVM-based virtualization engine in the targeted HCI architecture.
For teams moving from physical machines, other virtualization platforms, cloud platforms, or HCI environments to Arcfra Cloud Operating System.
Use this path when the target architecture is a hyperconverged Arcfra deployment with integrated compute and storage operations.
Flexible
Deploy either on the source end or the target end.
Easy-to-Use
No need to install any agent on the VMs to be migrated.
Online Migration
Keep VMs online for most of the migration process.
Time-Saving
Migrate existing workloads within a limited business change window.
Broad Compatibility
Support various mainstream platforms with no limitation on hypervisors.
Automation
Automatically create target virtual machines in the target cluster, enabling automated migration from the source host to the target virtual machine.
No Business Disruption
Add source host information to perform Continuous Data Protection (CDP) on the source host, enabling online migration of entire physical machines/virtual machines.
A successful migration starts with validating the source platform, target architecture, workload requirements, storage dependencies, and cutover window. Arcfra helps teams assess the right path before migration begins.
