VMware Exit to
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
April 2nd, 2026 at 12:00pm CST (UTC-6)
Organizations across industries are reevaluating their VMware strategy as licensing changes, subscription shifts, and infrastructure costs accelerate the need for alternative platforms.
In this live webinar, RackWare and Oracle experts will walk through how organizations can confidently migrate VMware workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using intelligent automation to eliminate common migration barriers.
This session explores how agentless replication and OCI-native provisioning enable organizations to test migrations before cutover, validate performance in the target environment, and execute migrations with built-in rollback and minimal disruption.
