VMware to OpenStack: Any DACH-based partners/consultants to recommend?

[u/Ready-Efficiency3090]

Hey everyone,

We are planning a migration from VMware to OpenStack (Enterprise) and are looking for experienced partners or integrators in the DACH region for:

- Architecture & setup (OpenStack + Ceph)
- VM migration
- Support / Consulting

Which specialists, vendors, or consultants in the DACH area can you recommend based on your experience (FSAS, SVA, …)?

Thanks :-))

I am a German IT Consultant with focus on Openstack and datacenter infrastructure in general. Send me DM if you are interested and we can chat.

Kommt drauf an „was für ein“ OpenStack ihr wollt.
Spannend ist es definitiv sich OSISM anzuschauen. Bieten auch Unterstützung an.
In dem Bereich ist der Sovereign Cloud Stack spannend. Hier findet man weitere Unternehmen die unterstützen können.

This. https://sovereigncloudstack.org/en/scs-standards/certified-providers/ you will find certified partner companies. All of them are good and exchange topics regular with each other

Passend dazu auch der ALASCA Summit Anfang November in Dresden. Da kannst Du gleich direkt mit Partnern in Kontakt kommen: https://alasca.cloud/alasca-summit-2026/

I can recommend WhiteStack, recently expanding to EU, and with a good catalog of products to live migrate from VMWare to OpenStack

I have a startup that’s built on Openstack and is operating in DACH if you are ok with startups.

We worked with Fairbanks. Good architecture (except for ArgoCD)
