NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CAST, the leader in software intelligence, today unveiled a new plugin to help companies swiftly migrate from VMware to cost-efficient cloud alternatives. Given the complexity of many VMware configurations, businesses transitioning off those platforms are expected to face hundreds of hours in staff time expense and risk introducing errors to critical systems.
"Many of these VMware deployments happened 20 years ago, so the institutional knowledge necessary for a smooth process is no longer available," said Greg Rivera, Vice President at CAST. "Integrated into CAST Highlight, this plugin empowers leaders with a fact-based, streamlined sequence for migration.”
CAST Highlight reads and understands application source code, generating the ideal pathway to transition off VMware including:
- Which applications to rehost, containerize, rearchitect, rebuild, or retire
- Migration blockers in the code and how to address them
- Migration effort estimates
- Best-fit cloud-native alternatives on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud
The plugin is available free of charge as part of CAST Highlight, integrated into the platform’s suite of dashboards, heatmaps and application drilldowns.
