A Guide to Application Migration NirvanaHave you experienced application migration paralysis? We have. Join this session to learn how VMware vRealize Network Insight uses application discovery and migration planning to understand your applications before migrating them, and then uses an integration into VMware HCX to seamlessly start migrating. We will spill the beans on how VMware IT and our customers solved their migration headaches. Through mostly demos, we will show how to: • Discover your application workloads • Map out application dependencies • Analyze network traffic to make informed decisions • Seamlessly move the discovered applications into VMware HCX • Migrate the applications to VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure VMware Solution, and Google Cloud VMware Engine
