This paper explores how organizations can move from VMware to private cloud platforms like Mirantis, RedHat OpenShift, or OpenNebula. These tools make it easier to manage hybrid environments and scale apps as needed. Cloudly handles the full migration, from strategy to support, so teams can make the shift with confidence.
