Start with the VM Accelerator. Build your migration baseline for free. Then scale to VirtualReady through ReadyWorks and Cognizant when you are ready to move.
Capabilities overview, business value, and ROI drivers for the free assessment tool.
Deep dive into the full migration lifecycle from assessment to post-migration operations.
Key benefits, platform differentiators, and enterprise capabilities at a glance.
A lightweight assessment tool that turns raw VMware and Nutanix inventory into clear migration insight. It normalizes your estate view, classifies VMs, flags compatibility risks, and groups workloads into migration bundles.
Sign up with your work email and connect to vCenter or upload RVTools/Nutanix Collector files. Full access for 45 days, no credit card, no commitment. Your data stays private and secure.
Direct vCenter connections (one or many), RVTools exports, and Nutanix Collector files for environments where direct connectivity is not available.
Your assessment data and bundles carry directly into VirtualReady. No rework, no data loss when you scale to the full platform.
Yes. VM Accelerator supports connections to multiple vCenters simultaneously and is designed to handle enterprise-scale environments with thousands of VMs. You can connect using multiple sources—including direct vCenter connections, RVTools exports, and the Nutanix Collector. Regardless of the number or type of sources connected, all assessment results are consolidated into a single unified view for easy analysis.
Deep enrichment with application context, stakeholder outreach, dependency mapping, automated wave orchestration (scheduling, change management, Nutanix Move), and post-migration monitoring across your hybrid environment.
Direct integration with Nutanix Move for automated VM transfer and Nutanix Prism for post-migration monitoring, capacity management, and health visibility.
Yes. VirtualReady provides hybrid visibility across VMware remnants and Nutanix during the transition period when most organizations run both platforms simultaneously.
VMware, Nutanix, ServiceNow, major cloud platforms, and 40+ enterprise systems through low-code connectors and APIs.
Yes. VirtualReady is ISO27001 certified with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and automatic audit trails. Compliance documentation generates automatically.
