Do Kubernetes and VMs compete—or complement each other? Watch this session for a practical CloudStack-focused perspective. youtu.be/EG1_OK6qHBA

One of the biggest misconceptions about moving from VMware to Apache CloudStack is that it requires a full “big bang” migration. In reality, successful migrations are phased, controlled, and automation-driven. ShapeBlue has delivered real-world migrations where thousands of VMs were transitioned in structured phases, reducing risk while improving operational visibility. This approach is critical because migration is about: ✅ Preserving network behaviour ✅ Maintaining identity and access consistency ✅ Ensuring storage and performance equivalence ✅ Avoiding operational disruption The real success factor is automation: the more repeatable the process, the lower the risk. shapeblue.com/vmware-migrati…

RapidCompute is an enterprise IaaS provider running demanding customer workloads across multiple data centers. When they needed a new primary storage platform, the requirements were clear: consistently low latency, high fault tolerance, easy scalability, and native support for CloudStack — without adding operational overhead to their team. They chose StorPool. The StorPool's seemless CloudStack integration meant no disruption to their existing orchestration setup — the same VMs, the same workflows, just faster and more reliable storage underneath. The results: zero storage-related downtime since deployment, approximately 30 workdays saved per year, and a team that no longer spends time monitoring or managing the storage layer. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04jxwjz0 #CaseStudy #RapidCompute #CloudStack #StorPool #CloudInfrastructure #IaaS #DataStorage
