 Use cases for Cross Hypervisor
DR:• Easy migration to AHV.
• Cost reduction for DR sites
• ROBO replication into central DC
• SPs offering DRaaS using AHV in their DC

No competing solution. Why?

• Complex replication and conversion
• High learning curve with various migration
tools

39
 • 1-click conversion from ESX
cluster to AHV
• Build out no lock-in
story.
• Easier onboardinp of
workloads
to AHV.

Deploy VMs
Convert to AHV
• Ease of evaluation
