VMware vRA 7: What’s Your Strategy?

STAY with vRA

If you stay with VMware vRA you’ll still have VMware’s support…if you agree to migrate to vRA 8. Migration to an entirely new platform is a lengthy, pain-staking process—and could cost you thousands in professional services. Not only that, maintaining all your integrations and plugins for supplementing your cloud infrastructure is critical during and after any migration. Even on vRA 8, it’s difficult to automate processes without custom code, and you run the risk of shadow IT running rampant.

What do you need to stay with vRA?

Migrate to vRA 8

Move your custom-coded integrations from vRA 7 to vRA 8, no re-writes

According to recent research from CloudBolt Industry Insights, 59% of global IT leaders agree one of the top challenges with vRA is “movements to major releases require re-writes of all custom-built integrations.”

CloudBolt OneFuse can put a code adapter wrapper around your existing customer integrations so they’ll work in vRA 8. How much would you save if you could migrate all your vRA 7 custom integrations and have them work in vRA 8 immediately?
