Migrate live VMware workloads to CubeCOS with CubeDPX

CubeDPX identifies your VMware workloads, maps them to CubeCOS, and migrates your data while minimizing downtime. You can perform dry runs as many times as needed, and then cut over once you're ready. There is no need for agents, manual reconfigurations, or rip-and-replace processes.

CubeDPX-Migration

One integrated tool to move VMware workloads to CubeCOS

CubeDPX, Bigstack's data protection and migration engine, is integrated directly into CubeCOS. It runs as a native service, allowing you to migrate from one place instead of stitching together conversion scripts, backup tools, and manual mapping. The same engine that migrates your VMs protects them afterward with native backup and recovery.

CubeDPX-Automatic VMware-to-CubeCOS mapping

Automatic VMware-to-CubeCOS mapping

CubeDPX maps each element of your VMware environment to its equivalent in CubeCOS. Mapping VMs to instances and flavors, port groups to tenant networks, security groups to firewall rules, and datastores to volume types.

CubeDPX-Warm, cold, or dry-run migration

Warm, cold, or dry-run migration

Select the appropriate migration mode for each workload. A dry run stages VMs, networking, and storage without moving data, allowing you to validate before committing. Cold migration shuts the VM down for a clean, predictable transfer. Warm migration uses live snapshots and change-block tracking to copy data while the VM runs, then moves only the changed blocks at cutover, minimizing downtime for production workloads.

CubeDPX-Agentless and non-disruptive

Agentless and non-disruptive

CubeDPX is 100% software-based and agentless. It installs no software inside your VMs and requires no restarts or manual configuration changes to source systems. Migration occurs alongside live operations, so your day-to-day VMware workloads continue serving traffic until you decide to switch over.

CubeDPX-Repeatable until youre confident

Repeatable until you're confident

Run the plan, test that the VMs boot and communicate, adjust the mapping, and repeat as necessary. Once the results match your expectations, perform the final cutover with only the last delta to copy.

CubeDPX-Native backup and recovery after migration

Native backup and recovery after migration

The engine that migrates your workloads also protects them on CubeCOS. Once VMs are running, CubeDPX provides native, application-consistent backup and recovery within the platform.

CubeDPX-Automate at scale with API, CLI, and Ansible

Automate at scale with API, CLI, and Ansible

Migrate a few VMs from the UI or migrate thousands through automation. CubeDPX has a RESTful API and CLI, and it integrates with Ansible. These features allow large deployments to migrate as repeatable, predictable pipelines rather than as manual, per-VM work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CubeDPX migration?

 

+

CubeDPX migration is the process of moving VMware virtual machines to CubeCOS using CubeDPX, Bigstack's Trilio-powered migration and data protection engine. CubeDPX discovers your VMware workloads, maps them to CubeCOS resources, and copies data with minimal downtime, then protects those workloads with native backup and recovery after cutover.

Does migrating from VMware to CubeCOS require downtime?

 
+

Warm migration employs live snapshots and change-block tracking to copy data while the VM remains operational, ensuring minimal downtime during the brief final cutover. Cold migration shuts down the VM for a clean, predictable transfer. A dry run stages the VMs, networking, and storage without moving data, allowing you to validate the plan with no downtime.

Do I need to install agents inside my VMs to migrate?

+

No, CubeDPX is 100% software-based and agentless. It doesn't install anything inside your virtual machines (VMs) and doesn't require any restarts or manual configuration changes to your source systems. This allows migration to run alongside live VMware operations until you decide to switch over.

What happens if the migration doesn't work the first time?

+

The migration process is repeatable. You can run the plan, test that the VMs boot and communicate, adjust the mapping, and repeat as needed. Only perform the final cutover when the results match your expectations. This copies just the last changed data.

Can I migrate large VMware environments at scale?

+

Yes. CubeDPX has a RESTful API and a CLI, and it integrates with Ansible. These features allow large-scale deployments to migrate as repeatable, predictable pipelines rather than through manual, per-VM processes. Automatic mapping converts VMware VMs to CubeCOS equivalents throughout the migration process.

Is CubeDPX the same as Trilio?

+

CubeDPX is built on Trilio technology and integrated directly into CubeCOS. It delivers proven Trilio migration, backup, and recovery technology as a native CubeCOS service with a single Bigstack support path for the platform and its data protection layer.
