Nutanix Move

Nutanix Move (or simply Move) is a cross-hypervisor mobility solution that migrates virtual machines (VMs) and files with minimal downtime. Move is free to Nutanix customers and can be downloaded from the Nutanix Support Portal.

VM Migration Methodology

With Move, you can choose to migrate using infrastructure-centric or application-centric migration.

• Infrastructure-centric migration works well when the legacy infrastructure and the Nutanix Cloud platform have access to the same VLANs.
• Application-centric migration works well when you want to move an application and all the servers that support the application, such as files and databases.
