Summary

This tutorial demonstrates Sangfor's VMware Migration Assessment Tool, an automated platform designed to streamline the evaluation process for organizations migrating from VMware vSphere to Sangfor HCI. The tool replaces manual assessment workflows with an automated, rule-based engine that evaluates seven critical dimensions including migration method matching, risk identification, resource estimation, compatibility validation, migration sequencing, duration forecasting, and configuration mapping. The demonstration walks through the complete workflow from initial project setup and vSphere connection through automated assessment execution and report generation. The tool connects directly to VMware vSphere using read-only credentials, optionally integrates with VMware NSX for firewall rule conversion, and can assess 1,000+ VMs in approximately 10 minutes—representing a claimed 90% efficiency improvement over manual survey methods. Output includes both Excel spreadsheets tracking individual VM status and migration parameters, plus automatically generated Word documents suitable for formal assessment documentation and executive reporting.
