WHAT WE ADVISE ON

Two migrations enterprises can't afford to get wrong

Both are happening on a vendor's timeline. We make sure the decisions are made on yours.

Your VMware estate migrating to best-fit target platforms

VMware Migration & Exit

Renewal costs up after the Broadcom acquisition? We map your options, re-platform, alternative hypervisor, or hyperscaler, and recommend the partner who can execute it cleanly.

  • Licensing & cost analysis of your current estate
  • Target platform evaluation (Nutanix, Azure, AWS, Proxmox)
  • Vetted migration partner selection & oversight

IBM Power workloads migrating to Power cloud

IBM Power Cloud Migration

Move AIX, IBM i, and Linux on Power workloads off aging hardware. We help you choose the right Power-in-the-cloud destination and a partner who knows the platform end to end.

  • AIX / IBM i / Linux on Power workload assessment
  • IBM Power Virtual Server & partner cloud options
  • Capacity, DR, and licensing modeled before you commit

  • Works for you, not the vendors. Unbiased advice across every major platform and provider.

  • No cost to you, ever. Providers pay the advisory, never the client.
HOW OUR ADVISORY WORKS

An independent process, from assessment to live cutover

01

Assess

We document your estate, costs, contracts, and constraints, the real picture before anyone pitches a solution.

02

Match

We shortlist target platforms and partners from our network, scored against your requirements, not a quota.

03

Negotiate

We run the commercials and scope so the contract and migration plan are built around your timeline and budget.

04

Oversee

We stay in through cutover, holding the partner accountable to the plan and stepping in if anything slips.

WHY FORETEL

We sit on your side of the table

For years we've guided networks and infrastructure decisions across 100+ providers as an independent advisor. We brought that same model to the two migrations every infrastructure team is now facing.

No platform to defend, no renewal to protect. Just the right destination for your workloads and a partner we'll stand behind.

Vendor-neutral

We don't resell platforms, so the recommendation follows the workload, not a commission.

Specialized

Two focused practices, VMware exit and IBM Power cloud, not a generalist reseller.

Deep network

A vetted bench of migration partners and cloud destinations, matched to your environment.

Accountable

We stay engaged through cutover and hold partners to the plan we agreed on.
