CHAI™ migrates your VMware workloads to Kubernetes in weeks — with zero downtime, 70%+ cost savings, and complete data sovereignty.
Legacy virtualization served its purpose. But rising costs, rigid architectures, and limited agility are holding your infrastructure back.
Unpredictable licensing changes, growing renewal costs, and bundled products you don't need are draining your IT budget every cycle.
Manual provisioning, slow scaling, and an aging virtualization stack can't keep pace with modern cloud-native demands.
Single-vendor reliance limits your negotiation leverage and ties your roadmap to someone else's priorities.
Traditional VMware exits take 18–24 months and fail 45% of the time. CHAI collapses that into weeks with agentic AI orchestration.
CHAI DART™ agents perform non-intrusive scanning of your entire vSphere environment — VMs, clusters, vSAN, NSX, application dependencies — without agents or downtime.
Tri-Vector analysis evaluates every workload across runtime, code, and infrastructure signals to determine the optimal path: rehost, replatform, or containerize.
Multi-agent orchestration transforms VM workloads into optimized containers with auto-generated Dockerfiles, Helm charts, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes manifests.
Blue-green and canary strategies keep production online throughout migration. Automated validation, health checks, and instant rollback safeguards ensure zero risk.
AI agents scan vCenter, hosts, and storage — mapping every VM, dependency, and config without downtime.
Tri-Vector analysis scores each VM across runtime, code, and infrastructure signals to find the optimal path.
Flow agents containerize workloads simultaneously — auto-generating Dockerfiles, Helm charts, and K8s manifests.
Blue-green deployment with automated validation. Traffic shifts progressively. Users notice nothing.
Eliminate legacy licensing costs. Extend hardware lifecycle. Slash operational overhead.
AI-powered dependency mapping and automated execution. Weeks, not the 18–24 months of traditional exits.
Blue-green deployments, automated health checks, and instant rollback ensure uninterrupted operations.
Most migration tools send your application data to public clouds for analysis. CHAI processes everything inside your security perimeter.
All AI analysis runs within your firewall. Zero data exfiltration to external servers or public LLMs.
Stay audit-ready throughout the migration. CHAI maintains full compliance posture so your security and regulatory standards are never compromised.
Ideal for black-box environments. CHAI analyzes runtime behaviors, binaries, and deployment artifacts when source isn't available.
See exactly what your VMware exit looks like — costs, timeline, risks, and savings — before you commit to anything.
With CHAI, most enterprises complete their migration in 5–9 weeks. Traditional approaches take 18–24 months because they rely on manual assessment and migration. CHAI's agentic AI automates 90% of the work.
Zero. CHAI uses blue-green and canary deployment strategies with automated health checks and instant rollback. Your production workloads stay online throughout the entire migration.
CHAI works with or without source code. It analyzes runtime behaviors, binary artifacts, and deployment configurations to build a complete application intelligence model.
Any Kubernetes platform — Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, Red Hat OpenShift, or on-premises Kubernetes. CHAI generates platform-specific configurations for your target.
Absolutely. CHAI is Sovereign AI — all processing happens inside your security perimeter. No data is sent to external servers. Air-gapped deployment is fully supported.
The initial VMware estate assessment is free for qualifying enterprises. It delivers a complete inventory, cost analysis, migration roadmap, and ROI projection — with no commitment required.
