Racked today, entire hosting solution based on Vates stack
-
@Pilow yeah I know, we're a vmware customer as well and the pricing increase was pretty rough.
I can imagine this is a big upgrade for your company, and it seems like you already have the customers so this will probably be a very nice upgrade for them.
I can also guess, that you were able to completely rebuild everything now exactly how you wanted it, which is also a big plus. -
@nikade the customer base is just below what we need to zeroe the costs... need to have good communication and sell the new infrastructure now, it's a challenge
rebuikld, yes, and even get more with automation because of Vates stack it's easier to pull up things. i'm a big fan.
other challenge is to convert the actual vmware vms.
our current V2V path consists of veeam backup from old datacenter to new datacenter to veeam cloud connect repository. then we have nested ESXi in XCP pool to restore, and import from there
we had veeam replication possibilities with vmware, still need to get that in place with XO proxies and XO backup to replicate from on-prem clients to our datacenters
perhaps when veeam will be out of beta, we could have replication plans like we had on vmware ?
as soon as our hosting stack is done we'll need beta testers, if you're up to help us test the automations
