The move is happening. Let’s make it a move up.

We know this wasn’t on the 2026 vision board, but neither was a 400% increase in virtual machine costs. So, if you’re one of the many people staring down an unexpected and urgent hypervisor migration because of VMware price increases, just know:

  1. You’re not alone,
  2. You’re in the right place.

Your VMware exit strategy starts here

Improvements to Hyper-V make it a one-to-one alternative to VMware, and Microsoft ownership provides stability and potential licensing savings of more than 50%. Summit can make the migration seamless, giving your organization the functionality you need, plus the portability and predictability you’ve recently found yourself without.

You take control, we take responsibility

With Summit, you decide where your workloads go, we help you understand why. Hyper-V will give you the feature-rich virtual machines you need to make private cloud workloads accessible, while modernizing workloads and making them portable for future Azure moves. 

But control doesn’t mean doing it alone. With Hosted Hyper-V, you set the terms, Summit does the legwork.

You Can

  • Define requirements, and policies
  • Approve VM specifications and resources
  • Manage your guest OS, applications, and data

Summit Will

  • Deploy, configure, and run your Hyper-V infrastructure
  • Monitor health, performance, and capacity 24×7
  • Provide VM access and technical support
  • Update and maintain clusters
  • Update security and maintain compliance
  • Report on resource utilization and performance
  • Recommend optimization opportunities

All the features you expect, and nothing unexpected

Improvements to Hyper-V have turned it into a one-to-one match for VMware’s features, removing any final barriers to migration. When you choose Summit’s managed Hyper-V hosting, we’ll work together to create flexible, portable virtual machines that are: 

  • Scalable

    Hyper-V lets teams grow without fear. Provision more CPU, RAM, or storage on-demand, and launch new virtual machines without waiting on hardware. No redesigning. No replatforming.

  • Secure

    Keep what needs to stay private, private. Summit’s Hyper-V lets you keep workloads secure, while Azure Arc lets you orchestrate between public and private clouds with the same native PowerShell automations.

  • Resilient

    At Summit, automated backups, configurable retention and disaster recovery are built into all of our solutions, including Hyper-V, so your systems keep running through any event.

  • Feature-Rich

    This is a migration, not a compromise. When you move to Hyper-V, you’ll have a full-featured, rich platform that can stand toe-to-toe with VMware.

  • Azure-Ready

    The best tool is the one you already have. Hyper-V is included with Windows Server licensing and ready to work in any Windows environment.

  • High-Performing

    Our optimized Hyper-V environment provides fast compute, high-availability storage, and low-latency networking

Make the VMware migration that sets you up for the future

If you’re considering migrating to a Hyper-V environment — and if you read this far you likely are — there’s a good chance it’s because you want stability. Stable pricing. Predictable product roadmaps. No surprise VMware license increases. No changes in ownership that throw everything into question. Hyper-V is the only VMware alternative that’s baked into a system many businesses are already using, run by a company that’s outlasted almost all the others.

Nothing is certain in tech, but Microsoft is pretty close.

If you want to improve operations now and prepare for the future, Summit can help.
