What happens if my environment is larger than the assessment tier I selected? −
You can still begin the intake process. Velantix LLC will review the estate size against the selected tier and recommend the right path forward, whether that means limiting scope, upgrading the tier, or splitting the environment into logical assessment phases.
How quickly will I receive my assessment? +
Initial AI-driven insights begin within minutes of data ingestion. Final deliverables are reviewed and validated by senior transformation architects to ensure accuracy, context, and strategic alignment. Delivery timing depends on environment size and complexity, with many assessments suitable for same-day or next-business-day turnaround.
Is Velantix Axiom fully automated? +
Axiom uses AI-assisted analysis workflows to accelerate discovery, correlation, and report generation. Final recommendations are expert-validated because enterprise modernization decisions require context, risk review, and architectural judgment.
What data do I need to provide? +
Most assessments begin with an RVTools export. Customers may optionally provide additional discovery files, licensing data, application context, or business priorities to improve recommendation accuracy.
How is my data handled? +
Velantix LLC uses a controlled intake process for customer-provided files. Data is used only for the requested assessment, access is limited to authorized review, and customers may request an NDA before submitting files. Velantix LLC does not require credentials or direct access to production systems for standard assessments.
Is Axiom vendor-neutral? +
Yes. Axiom recommendations are driven by infrastructure data, target-state goals, and expert architectural validation, not by vendor relationships or preferred platforms. We support all major VMware exit destinations including OpenShift, Nutanix, Proxmox, Hyper-V, and major hyperscalers.
What does the output look like? +
Axiom produces executive-ready assessment deliverables that may include infrastructure summaries, modernization options, cost exposure modeling, workload placement guidance, risk analysis, and phased transformation recommendations. If you would like to preview the deliverable format before starting, you can request either the Mid-Market VMware Exit Sample Report or the Enterprise VMware Exit Sample Report from the “What are you looking for?” dropdown on the contact form.
Can partners brand the output? +
Yes. Certified Partner tier and above includes co-branded output options. OEM/Strategic partners have access to full white-label deliverables. Contact us to discuss partner program options.
Is Velantix Axiom a replacement for RVTools? +
No. RVTools is an excellent VMware inventory export utility. Axiom uses data from tools like RVTools and turns it into a transformation plan — including cost modeling, platform comparison, workload classification, migration waves, and executive-ready recommendations.
How does Axiom compare to Azure Migrate or Nutanix Sizer? +
Azure Migrate and Nutanix Sizer are valuable destination-specific tools. Axiom is used earlier in the decision process to compare options, identify cost exposure, classify workload complexity, and build the business case before selecting a destination.
Can Axiom help with Broadcom VMware licensing exposure? +
Yes. Axiom helps analyze VMware estate data, core counts, workload scope, rightsizing opportunities, idle assets, and renewal impact signals to support VMware exit planning or renewal negotiation.
Does Axiom create migration waves? +
Yes. Axiom groups workloads into migration waves based on readiness, complexity, dependency indicators, risk signals, and platform-fit analysis.
Does Axiom only support cloud migration? +
No. Axiom supports cloud, on-premises, hybrid, private cloud, HCI, alternative hypervisors, and modernization strategies.
How does Axiom classify complex workloads? +
Axiom evaluates workload complexity across technical, operational, financial, and portability signals. The weighting model is proprietary, but each classification includes an auditable explanation so teams can validate the recommendation.
Can Axiom identify savings before migration? +
Yes. Axiom can surface idle VMs, powered-off systems, oversized workloads, reclaimable storage, and other cost-reduction indicators before migration planning begins.
