VMWare Migration

Why Move VMware Workloads Now?

Enterprise IT leaders cite escalating data-center costs, hardware refresh cycles, and the need for AI-ready infrastructure. Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) offers a native vSphere environment with up to 20 percent lower list pricing compared with other hyperscale VMware offerings—plus flexible license portability.

Rapid scaling provision an entire SDDC in minutes and expand clusters on-demand..

Our Migration Framework

Business Outcomes You Can Expect

Faster time to value

Customers eliminate data-center lease costs and hardware refresh projects within a single quarter. Carrefour, for example, reduced operating expenses by forty percent after moving to Google Cloud VMware Engine.

Stronger security posture

Google backbone encryption, Shielded VMs, and built-in DDoS protection extend the security of your vSphere environment while adding cloud-native controls.

Operational agility

Spin up a full SDDC in minutes when a new acquisition closes or a development team needs isolated capacity.

Innovation runway

Once in Google Cloud, workloads can connect to BigQuery, Cloud Run, and Vertex AI without re-architecture, turning lift-and-shift into a launching pad for modernization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my existing vSphere tools and scripts keep working after migration?

Yes. You continue to use vCenter, vSAN, NSX, PowerCLI, and existing automation exactly as before. Google Cloud VMware Engine presents a native vSphere stack, so no retraining is required.

How long does a typical migration take?

A focused pilot can be live in four weeks. Full production estates average three to six months, depending on application complexity and change-control windows.

What happens to latency-sensitive applications?

HCX WAN optimization and Layer-two extension keep IP addresses intact during cutover. Post-migration, private interconnect and up to two-hundred-gigabit networking maintain sub-five-millisecond round trips within the same region.

Can I run Oracle, SQL Server, or SAP on Google Cloud VMware Engine?

Yes. The platform is certified for major commercial databases and supports stretched clusters for high availability. Our architects tune storage profiles and licensing to stay compliant.

Is there funding assistance from Google?

Google often covers assessment and pilot costs for qualified customers. D3V manages the approval process and aligns deliverables to the funding guidelines.

Working with D3V was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had with a vendor. After partnering, we realized right away how they differ from other development teams. They are genuinely interested in our business to understand what unique tech needs we have and how they can help us improve.

Jared Forman

CEO & Co-Founder, OSMix Music

Lee ZimbelmanWe had an idea and D3V nailed it. Other vendors that we had worked with did not understand what we were trying to do – which was not the case with D3V. They worked with us through weekly meetings to create what is now the fastest and most accurate steel estimating software in the world. Could not have asked for anything better – what a Team!

Lee Zimbelman

IT Director, BLI Rentals

Our experience with D3V was fantastic. Their team was a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable, and explained everything to us very clearly and concisely. We are very happy with the outcome of this project!

Ryan Moodie

Founder, DARI Motion

We used D3V to help us launch our app. They built the front end using React and then pushed to native versions of iOS and Android. Our backend was using AWS and Google Firebase for messaging. They were knowledgeable, experienced, and efficient. We will continue to use them in the future and have recommended their services to others looking for outside guidance.

Terry Thornberg

CEO, Fabsystems Inc.

We hesitated to migrate our virtual machines and database services to Google Cloud as it was complicated. D3V Tech came in and provided the service to help us smoothly transition the migration. It's almost zero downtime for the service and users have no impact during the migration process. Besides that, D3V Tech provides many insightful cloud maintenance tips and guides beyond migration, and we can learn many great services Google Cloud provides, like DDoS attack defending, Al model and API capabilities, etc. It's a very positive experience with Google Cloud and D3V Tech partnerships! We highly recommend their services.
