Migration throughput

Posted by ScaleNinja@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 10 comments

I'm currently researching on VMware migration strategies and want research benchmarks grounded in reality. If you’ve moved off VMware recently, can you share:

Where did you land? (Proxmox, Nutanix, Openstack, CloudStack, XCP-ng, HyperV etc.)

The Velocity: How many VMs or TBs were you able to move per day?

The "Dark" Time: What was your average downtime per VM during the final cutover?

The Bottleneck: Was it the network pipe or the slow disk conversion (vmdk to qcow2) or something else?

I’m seeing a lot of frustration around conversion times and downtime. Appreciate any data points and comments you can share!

Anytime I try to word my message better as a non native speaker, to discuss with the community you guys ban my posts without even giving me chance, simple because some random dude report my post. That sucks.

It's not an issue of your English-Language skills.

It's an issue of asking a really low-effort, low-quality question.

Can you help me understand how could I have framed my post better, so I can improve next time? All I wanted was to ask and survey what kind of throughputs people observing in their environments, which is something I cannot find anywhere except a few blogs or posts. So I thought to better ask here.

I’ll also take suggestions to try to post in the suggested threads.

Your account represents a business. (scaleninja dot com)

https://www.whois.com/whois/scaleninja.com

Your Whois says you operate out of Antarctica, which is a lie.

So you are a business with deceptive practices.

You are asking open-ended questions that as an IT Support Services business you should have answers to.
So it looks like you are just trying to generate discussion points to help add legitimacy to your reddit account.

This probably won't end well for your account.
