VMware HCX use cases:
-
Application migration
You can schedule and migrate thousands of vSphere virtual machines within and across data centers without requiring a reboot.
-
Change platforms or upgrade vSphere versions
With HCX, you can migrate workloads from vSphere and from non-vSphere (KVM and Hyper-V) environments within and across data centers or clouds to current vSphere versions without requiring an upgrade.
-
Workload rebalancing
HCX provides a multi-cloud mobility platform across cloud regions and cloud providers to allow customers to move applications and workloads at any time to meet scale, cost management, compliance, and vendor neutrality goals.
-
Business continuity and protection
Using HCX capabilities, administrators can protect workloads by replicating them to other HCX sites. Workload migration is available on-demand, or it can be scheduled for business or for maintenance planning.
