The migration plan

Roughly 12 weeks for a mid-size estate, in six phases.

Assessment & discovery
Inventory every workload, dependency, and integration; flag anything high-risk.
Target design & sizing
Size the new platform, design storage and networking, set RPO/RTO and rollback criteria.
Pilot migration
Migrate a small low-risk set end-to-end and validate the runbook.
↳ Deploy new agents/exporters and dashboards, translate alerts to the new system, and dual-run both stacks until the cutover is validated.
Production migration
Move workloads in scheduled waves using automation; verify after each wave.
Validation & optimization
Tune performance, confirm backup/DR, and update monitoring and docs.
Decommission source
Reclaim licenses, retire old infrastructure, and capture lessons learned.

Tooling & automation

Deploy new agents/exporters and dashboards, translate alerts to the new system, and dual-run both stacks until the cutover is validated.

OffVendor's wizard pre-fills these scripts with your environment — inventory export, disk/schema conversion, bulk provisioning, and validation.

A guided builder that turns your estimates into a requirements report you can send to a vendor, partner, or distributor to secure a binding quote.

How this works — and what's yours to provide
  • Your inputs, your responsibility. The figures and estimates here describe your environment and requirements — please make sure they're accurate. OffVendor's defaults are illustrative starting points only, not vendor pricing.
  • It generates a requirements report (RFQ). Use it to capture your sizing and requirements and share it with your authorized vendor / partner / distributor to obtain a final, binding quote.
  • Then close the loop on your TCO. When the real quote comes back, plug those actual prices into the calculator above to refine your TCO and see where reality differs from the estimate.
