{ IDEAL_MIGRATION_PROFILE }
Built for organizations with critical infrastructure.
Our migration path is designed for organizations that need sovereignty, reliable operation and a sustainable alternative to proprietary virtualization.
{ EXIT_VENDOR_LOCK_IN }
From a cost trap to agile cloud infrastructure.
Many organizations are facing expiring contracts and changed licensing models. Waiting means risking exploding infrastructure costs and new dependencies on unfamiliar partners.
End dependency
We give you sovereignty back.Our cloud platform is 100% open source, uses OpenStack and Kubernetes, and contains no black-box components. SCS certification ensures long-term portability.
Gain freedom of choice
On-premises or data center, support or managed service.You choose the server location and free yourself from rigid compatibility requirements and hardware constraints. White-label switches can be used as part of the architecture.
Achieve stability
A cloud platform tailored to your requirements.A stable yet flexible cloud solution adapts to changing IT requirements, creating reliable operations and predictable future costs.

{ ARCHITECTURE_DIFF }
Proprietary virtualization vs. an open cloud platform.
The decisive difference is not a single feature. It is whether your organization controls licensing, architecture, roadmap and operational expertise.
Proprietary virtualization
Vendor-controlled licensing and subscription model
Proprietary solution with closed source and closed APIs
Reduced portability of established systems
The vendor roadmap dictates development
Cloud-native capabilities require an add-on product
System-specific expertise
UhuruTec
No license fees, vendor-independent and hardware-agnostic
Open source and open APIs as the basis for automation
Guaranteed portability through open source and SCS standards
Customer needs actively shape development
Cloud-native through Kubernetes and OpenStack
Comprehensive platform expertise is built in-house
{ MIGRATION_PIPELINE }
Migration to UhuruTec.
We migrate in controlled stages. Expand each step to see how assessment, test run, migration and operations fit together.
01Inventory and prioritization+
We identify all virtual machines, dependencies, criticality and suitable migration waves.
02Lift-and-shift test run+
A selected cluster validates connectivity, performance, operating procedures and rollback paths before broad migration.
03Technology-driven OpenStack migration+
Existing workloads move to the open IaaS layer in controlled waves with transparent checkpoints.
04Cloud-native modernization+
Container-ready applications are moved to Kubernetes where this creates a clear operational or development advantage.
05Transition to operations+
Documentation, monitoring, support paths and responsibilities are transferred into stable day-to-day operations.
[ CUSTOMER_SIGNAL ]
No license fees. No subscription lock-in.
Discuss your migrationWe needed a future-proof, stable cloud platform as an alternative to our previous virtualization solution. By migrating to uCloud, we were able to operate legacy systems reliably, implement applications cloud-natively and eliminate escalating license fees.

{ MIGRATION_FAQ }
Questions before leaving VMware.
Can existing VMware workloads be migrated?+
Yes. We first analyze dependencies and operating requirements, validate the migration with a representative test cluster, and then move suitable workloads to OpenStack in controlled waves.
Does everything have to be migrated at once?+
No. The architecture supports phased migration. Existing environments can continue to run while workloads are prioritized and moved step by step.
Can legacy VMs and Kubernetes run together?+
Yes. OpenStack provides the IaaS layer for virtual machines, while Kubernetes supports cloud-native applications. Both are operated as coordinated parts of the same platform.
Where can the platform be operated?+
In your own data center, at a selected data-center provider, or as a managed service. The platform remains open, portable and hardware-agnostic.
How do costs become predictable?+
There are no proprietary platform license fees. Architecture, operation and support are scoped transparently, while automation and self-service reduce recurring operating effort.
