VirtualReady

Governed agents for your VMware exit. 

Analyze your virtual estate on data you can trust, plan the waves with application dependencies attached, and execute the cutover to Nutanix with automation you approve and can reverse.

What is VirtualReady

One estate, understood, then moved

VirtualReady puts AI agents to work on your virtualization transition, on a data foundation that holds up. It connects to vCenter, ServiceNow, Nutanix, and the major clouds, unites their data into one continuously cleansed view, and attaches application context to every virtual machine: dependencies, usage, compatibility, and lifecycle stage.

On that foundation the ReadyAI control plane models migration waves, schedules the work, communicates with stakeholders, and executes cutovers, with human-in-the-loop approval on high-impact actions and a full audit trail behind every step.

WATCH THE DEMO

THE REAL CONSTRAINT

Agents are only as good as the data they act on

Your virtualization estate is described across virtualization management, ITSM, CMDB, storage, and endpoint tools that disagree with each other. Dependencies stay hidden, capacity signals are missed, and planning drifts into spreadsheets. Automation applied to that data accelerates the wrong decisions, so timelines slip, rework grows, and outages that were avoidable happen anyway.

How VirtualReady works

Data first. Context second. Autonomy third.

The order carries the argument. Each layer is worth having on its own, and each one makes the next one safe.

01 - DATA

A unified, cleansed view of the estate

Connect the systems you already run and normalize their data into one fabric, accessed on demand and in place. Data quality scoring surfaces missing and conflicting records, and automated plus human-in-the-loop cleansing keeps them corrected. Your systems of record keep owning their data.

02 - CONTEXT

Application context on every decision

Dependencies, usage, compatibility, and lifecycle stage attached to every virtual machine and application. You see what runs where, what depends on what, and what else a cutover would affect, which is how you decide what to migrate, retain, or refactor.

03 - AUTONOMY

Governed execution inside your guardrails

The ReadyAI control plane builds the migration strategy and begins executing it: wave planning, scheduling, stakeholder communications, testing, and cutover. Every action is logged, explainable, and reversible, with approval required on high-impact steps.

A virtualization exit, a Windows migration wave, a software asset management cleanup, and routine patching are the same motion: know the estate truthfully, decide with context, execute with governed automation. VirtualReady runs on the platform that handles all of it. Day-to-day operations and transformation programs, on one platform.

THE BENEFITS

What the migration tool alone cannot do

Nutanix Move handles the mechanics of moving a virtual machine. ReadyWorks handles the program around it: the data, the context, the sequencing, the coordination, and the record of what happened:

Outcomes the program is judged on

Rapid Implementation:

Rapid Implementation:

Day-one connectors to Nutanix and VMware, so the first wave is planned in days rather than quarters.

Trusted
data:

Quality scoring flags missing and conflicting records, and continuous cleansing keeps them corrected.

Application
context:

Dependencies, usage, compatibility, and lifecycle stage on every virtual machine, including the ones over 5 TB that stall a wave.

icon-enterprise_white

Enterprise-grade
planning:

Workloads organized through the program manager's lens as well as the engineer's, so waves map to business risk.

Day-one connectors to Nutanix and VMware, so the first wave is planned in days rather than quarters.

icon-schedule_white

Governed
autonomy:

Agents execute scheduling, communications, testing, and cutover within your guardrails, with approval on high-impact actions.

icon-cost_reversed

License
cost visibility:

What you own, what you use, and what the target environment actually requires, across planning and execution.

icon-optimize_reversed

Audit trail
and reporting:

Every action logged, explainable, and reversible, with chain of custody for compliance and progress reporting for the business.

For every stakeholder

VirtualReady is one solution on one platform

A unified data fabric, an application context layer, and the ReadyAI control plane, with program orchestration and enterprise AI guardrails including bring-your-own-model. The same foundation runs EndpointReady, ServerReady, StorageReady, IoTReady, and your own programs through FlexReady.

ReadyWorks is vendor neutral. The platform is independent of the vendors whose products it manages and earns nothing from where your data resides or where your workloads run. Model neutrality applies the same principle to AI: any commercial or open-source model, exchangeable per task.

FAQs

How do I migrate VMware-based clusters to Nutanix without causing downtime?

Using ReadyWorks and Nutanix move you can leverage connectors to rapidly integrate data from relevant systems and use data quality and scoring to identify your VMware estate and dependencies. With enhanced visibility, you can identify and remove risks ahead of your migration and use automation to cut the chance of human error, and the potential for downtime.

Does Nutanix AHV support the same virtual machines (VMs) and workloads as VMware?

Yes! Nutanix AHV supports a wide range of virtual machines (VMs) and workloads, similar to VMware. It is designed to handle various enterprise workloads, including traditional applications, cloud-native applications, and containers. It offers advanced virtualization features such as VM live migration, dynamic scheduling, VM high availability (HA), and metro clustering1. Additionally, Nutanix AHV provides a centralized image management service, allowing administrators to import and convert existing virtual disk formats, including raw, .vhd, .vmdk, .vdi, and .qcow2

Are there any hidden costs in my migration?

Using ReadyWorks connectors you can integrate all relevant data on your current VMware estate and use data scoring to correct mismatches, poll data owners for more information, and gain a holistic view of your environment. This means you are best equipped to understand your future VMware requirements and costs.

Is the Nutanix platform suitable for my needs?

With a holistic view of your current VMware environment, you are in the best position to understand how the VMware platform will support your needs in the future. It will also allow you to see if you are paying for any services you aren’t using and identify the services and support you need in the new Nutanix environment.

Will application compatibility be impacted?

Using ReadyWorks plus Nutanix Move you can rank applications based on criticality using factors, including the number of users, to understand what applications must be tested in the new environment. Testing workflows can be automated to reduce testing time and remove human error from the process.

What are the risks and challenges of moving to Nutanix?

The risks associated with any migration to another platform include application compatibility, downtime and service disruption, loss of data, and regulatory compliance.

Using ReadyWorks plus Nutanix Move these risks are removed as by connecting to all relevant systems you can rapidly gain a holistic view of your current VMware environment. Rich analytics capabilities allow you to identify dependencies and a clear migration plan to avoid service disruption, while automated workflows, including application testing, ensure your migration occurs only when your environment is ready. All of this is managed with fully integrated compliance.
