Key Benefits

  • Eliminate the complexity of migrating Kubernetes workloads into NKP

  • Preserve application architecture and operational models (no re-platforming required)

  • Enable modernization, consolidation, and DR use cases with minimal risk

  • Migrates namespaces, workloads, configurations, secrets, and persistent volumes without refactoring or redevelopment


Enterprises are increasingly adopting Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) as a modern, enterprise-grade Kubernetes solution that unifies application portability, operational simplicity, and hybrid cloud consistency. However, many organizations still operate containerized workloads across fragmented Kubernetes environments, including OpenShift, EKS, AKS, Rancher, Tanzu, and upstream Kubernetes, creating operational complexity, risk, and migration friction.


RackWare SWIFT removes these barriers by providing a fully automated, non-disruptive solution for migrating, replicating, and protecting containerized workloads into NKP, without refactoring and with full support for both stateless and stateful applications. RackWare is a trusted enterprise workload mobility platform purpose-built for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. By removing migration friction, RackWare accelerates NKP adoption while improving resilience and operational efficiency. Seamless Container Mobility for Nutanix Kubernetes Platform RackWare SWIFT changes the way enterprises handle container mobility by automating end-to-end migration and replication into the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP).


As a platform-agnostic solution, SWIFT bridges the gap between diverse environments—including EKS, AKS, OpenShift, and Tanzu—allowing for seamless workload modernization or consolidation without the need for application refactoring. By capturing the entire stack, from namespaces and secrets to persistent volumes, SWIFT ensures that complex configurations remain intact during the transition to NKP. Beyond simple migration, SWIFT serves as a robust engine for hybrid cloud strategies and disaster recovery. It provides specialized support for both stateless and stateful applications, making it an ideal choice for migrating enterprise databases with legacy storage backends.


By utilizing delta-based synchronization, the platform minimizes operational downtime through low-disruption replication and rapid cutover workflows. Whether implementing a phased transition or maintaining a secondary recovery site, organizations can leverage SWIFT’s f lexible architecture to achieve business continuity across any Kubernetes-based infrastructure.


Strategic Evolution with NKP


The primary utility of the RackWare solution lies in its ability to streamline Kubernetes modernization and consolidation. By migrating fragmented environments into a standardized Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), enterprises can significantly reduce operational overhead and eliminate the risk of vendor lock-in. This framework supports sophisticated hybrid and multi-cluster operations, ensuring that workloads remain portable across diverse environments. Furthermore, it serves as a critical tool for organizations executing a VMware exit, allowing them to transition containerized stacks away from legacy dependencies and align with a more cohesive Nutanix-driven infrastructure strategy.


From a business perspective, these automated workflows translate into accelerated NKP adoption and improved organizational resilience. By replacing manual re-platforming with repeatable, automated migrations, companies can protect mission-critical applications while lowering overall costs. This approach not only provides a reliable disaster recovery target with minimal data loss but also fosters a more resilient architecture. Ultimately, the integration offers a clear path toward infrastructure agility, ensuring that modern applications remain both scalable and secure within the Nutanix ecosystem.


Driving Enterprise Agility with RackWare and NKP


RackWare SWIFT and Nutanix Kubernetes Platform together provide enterprises with a fast, secure, and low-risk path to Kubernetes modernization, mobility, and resilience. Whether migrating, protecting, or extending containerized workloads, RackWare enables organizations to fully realize the value of NKP, without refactoring, without downtime, and without complexity.
