Oracle Cloud VMware Solution gives you a customer managed VMware environment on OCI. We design and migrate it so your existing VMware operations carry over largely unchanged.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, OCVS, runs a full VMware stack on OCI bare metal that you control, vCenter, vSAN, NSX, and ESXi included. For teams with deep VMware investment, it is the fastest route to OCI because the tools, skills, and runbooks come along with the workloads.
We plan the landing zone, size the cluster, run the migration with HCX, and connect the VMware environment to the rest of OCI so you can adopt native services at your own pace. You keep VMware operations on day one and gain OCI options for the years after.
A secure, well structured landing zone with the networking and identity OCVS needs.
Right sized bare metal clusters so you neither starve nor over buy the environment.
Bulk and live migration with VMware HCX, planned to minimise downtime and risk.
Connecting the VMware estate to OCI services, on premises, and other clouds.
Carrying over your vCenter, NSX, and operational tooling so teams keep working.
A staged plan to adopt OCI native services where they earn their place.
OCVS and a native rebuild are both valid OCI destinations. The right one depends on time, risk, and where you want to end up.
| Approach | Best when | Trade off |
|---|---|---|
| OCVS lift | You have heavy VMware investment and need speed | You carry VMware licensing and operations forward |
| Native rebuild | You want to leave VMware behind | Longer project, more change, more re platform work |
| Hybrid | Some workloads move, some modernise | Two operating models to manage during transition |
