Expedient is deploying a new generation of our Expedient Enterprise Cloud (EEC) platform which will be built on Broadcom’s VMware Cloud Foundation, featuring vSphere 8 and the latest version of VMware’s software-define networking product, NSX. This new platform is intended to offer enhanced functionality related to security, automation, and multi-cloud support. Expedient has appointed a project team dedicated to building, deploying, and populating the new infrastructure. Following the completion of this deployment in each Expedient data center, all clients currently subscribed to the EEC service will undergo a required migration of their environment to the new platform. These migrations are planned to begin in January 2025 and must be completed for all clients throughout 2025, to ensure compliance with Broadcom’s VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) lifecycle management requirements.
Migration activity will require a period of planned downtime to accommodate network routing and firewall changes; however, Expedient’s Cloud migration team will work directly with clients during and following the migration to ensure a smooth transition. To streamline this process, Expedient is currently assessing all EEC environments and outlining a migration schedule based on the size and complexity of each unique environment. Clients will receive direct communication from Cloud migration team at least 60 days prior to the scheduled migration to further coordinate the activity.
