Replacing VMware just to replace VMware is not enough.
STRATUM gives you a reason to move.
Bring the workloads. Leave the old operating model. Convert VMware exports into STRATUM Arsenal bundles, then move the datacenter itself into a versioned, AI-operable software lifecycle.
Move the VM. Then move beyond the VM.
VMware OVA or OVF in. STRATUM Arsenal bundle out.
For enterprise migrations, virt-v2v can inspect Windows or Linux guests, prepare them for KVM, install available VirtIO support, and produce QCOW2 disks. A fast qemu-img path is also available for disk-format conversion. The result is packaged as a validated .stratumarsenal bundle ready for STRATUM.
TECHNICAL MIGRATION DETAILS ↗Do not replace VMware with another VMware.
Change the operating model, not just the logo.
Bring the workloads.
VMware exports become STRATUM Arsenal bundles.
Keep the applications you already run. Export OVA or OVF, convert the guest and disks, preserve an auditable migration record when needed, and deploy the resulting template through STRATUM Arsenal.
Datacenter as an Application™
One immutable artifact instead of another virtualization stack.
STRATUM versions compute, networking, switches, ports, wiring, storage, GPUs, security, orchestration, topology, and operations as one OCI-delivered operating model. The migration is not finished when the VM boots. The target architecture changes too.
AI runs your infrastructure.
Replacing VMware gives you a reason to rethink operations.
STRATUM AI can reason across topology, runtime state, networks, packets, guest operating systems, applications, and dependencies, then act through governed Missions and verify the outcome. This is not a chatbot bolted onto a hypervisor.
Switches. Ports. Wiring. All versioned.
The network is part of the datacenter artifact.
Traditional virtualization typically assigns a VM to an abstract network. STRATUM makes switches, ports, cables, links, VLAN intent, and topology first-class infrastructure objects. Wire specific systems together and move that wiring with the datacenter.
The GPU is infrastructure.
Do not tie acceleration to one server just because the old stack did.
STRATUM GPU Fabric separates workload placement from accelerator placement, letting supported virtual machines consume GPU resources through the datacenter fabric instead of treating every accelerator as a fragile local add-on.
The cost is bigger than a hypervisor license.
Platform sprawl is an operating model.
Modernization is about more than replacing one license with another. STRATUM collapses the virtual datacenter into one operating model, one versioned artifact, and one infrastructure control layer. Fewer disconnected products, fewer site-by-site rebuilds, and a software lifecycle for infrastructure change the operational equation.
Keep the Linux you already trust.
Keep the golden image. Keep the accreditation. Add STRATUM.
STRATUM is delivered above the Linux foundation you already secure, patch, scan, and operate. Modernize the virtual datacenter without forcing another infrastructure operating system and another security baseline into the environment.
