Enterprise organizations trust HyperSDK to migrate mission-critical VM workloads across providers — securely, compliantly, and on schedule.

Financial Services

Fortune 500 Financial Services

Migrated 350 VMs from VMware to KVM in 6 weeks. $1.2M annual savings.

The Challenge

After Broadcom's VMware acquisition, this Fortune 500 financial institution faced a 200-500% licensing cost increase. Their VMware stack -- vSphere ($5K-15K/socket), vCenter ($6K-10K), vSAN ($2K-8K/socket), NSX ($4K-12K/socket) plus 3 VMware admins -- cost $1.4M/year for 350 production VMs running trading systems and regulatory reporting.

The Solution

HyperSDK's incremental export with Changed Block Tracking enabled near-zero-downtime cutovers during off-peak windows. 99.8% first-boot success rate meant minimal disruption. The same 3 admins now manage the KVM environment at $96K/year in RHEL subscriptions.

Healthcare

Healthcare Provider

Repatriated 80 VMs from Azure. $720K annual savings. 100% HIPAA compliant.

The Challenge

A large healthcare provider was spending $85K/month on Azure for 80 VMs running EMR systems and clinical applications. HIPAA compliance demanded encrypted data transfer, comprehensive audit logging, and zero exposure of patient health information during migration.

The Solution

HyperSDK repatriated all 80 VMs from Azure to on-premises KVM in 4 weeks, reducing monthly costs from $85K to $8K -- a $720K annual savings. End-to-end encryption and detailed audit logs maintained 100% HIPAA compliance throughout the migration.

Government

Government Agency

SOC2 + FedRAMP compliant. Air-gap capable. 40% CO2 reduction.

The Challenge

A federal agency needed to migrate classified workloads from legacy VMware infrastructure to a FedRAMP-authorized environment. The migration had to support fully air-gapped operation, meet SOC2 controls, and align with the agency's sustainability mandate for reduced carbon emissions across IT operations.

The Solution

HyperSDK was deployed in an air-gapped configuration with no external network dependencies. Carbon-aware scheduling reduced CO2 by 40% by optimizing migration jobs to run during low grid carbon intensity periods. SOC2 and FedRAMP compliance maintained throughout via comprehensive audit logging and RBAC.
