Tekrom’s Journey to IBM Cloud Modernization Using Cloud Migration as a Service
When Tekrom Technology, a leading eCommerce and IT solutions provider, faced the sunset of IBM Cloud Classic, the company had one clear goal: achieve a zero downtime cloud migration to a more modern, cost-effective environment. Partnering with Wanclouds, Tekrom successfully transitioned to VMware vCenter Server (VCS) on IBM Cloud, leveraging multi-cloud migration as a service to future-proof their infrastructure.
This real-world Wanclouds IBM VMware migration case study demonstrates how strategic cloud migration with expert support can unlock flexibility, lower operational costs, and deliver a seamless user experience, even under tight deadlines.

Why Tekrom Needed Cloud Infrastructure Modernization
With IBM phasing out its Classic infrastructure, Tekrom faced a time-sensitive challenge. Their existing environment needed to be migrated to a multi-zone, cost-efficient cloud platform. However, the process was far from simple.
Key Challenges Faced by Tekrom
- A required IBM Cloud Classic to VMware migration
- Limited internal expertise in VMware environments
- The need to migrate infrastructure with zero downtime
- Full network architecture redesign, including NAT, routing, and firewall configuration
- Need for cost optimization across infrastructure and operations
Recognizing the urgency, Tekrom sought a solution that combined automation, cloud orchestration, and expert technical guidance.
The Solution: Wanclouds VPC+ and Expert Cloud Support
Tekrom engaged Wanclouds, a trusted provider of multi-cloud migration solutions, to execute the migration quickly and efficiently. With VPC+, Wanclouds’ SaaS platform for cloud orchestration, the team delivered a fully automated, low-risk migration journey.
Key Solution Highlights:
- Seamless IBM to VMware workload migration
- End-to-end orchestration via VPC+, reducing manual intervention
- Redesign of Tekrom’s entire infrastructure to optimize cloud network performance
- Migration of 109+ virtual machines from IBM Cloud Classic to VMware VCS
- Configuration of secure, scalable routing and firewall policies for secure network migration to VMware
- Use of third-party tools (e.g., cPanel migrator) for specialized application moves
- Full project execution with zero downtime or service disruption
The Migration Journey
1. Infrastructure Discovery
Wanclouds conducted a full audit of Tekrom’s IBM Classic environment to map resources, dependencies, and configurations.
2. Network Redesign & Optimization
The new architecture minimized public IPs, cut costs, and improved routing logic—key steps in optimizing Tekrom’s cloud network.
3. Automated Migration Execution
Using VPC+, Tekrom's workloads were seamlessly moved from IBM Classic to VMware VCS, backed by automation and expert validation.
4. Continuous Expert Support
Throughout the process, cloud migration with expert support was critical. Wanclouds worked closely with Tekrom's engineers to fill technical gaps and ensure confidence at every phase.
Results & Impact
- Zero Downtime Cloud Migration: No service interruption, even during cutover
- Future-Ready Environment: Multi-zone, low-latency deployment on VMware
- Lower Operational Costs: Reduced public IP usage and hardware reliance
- Stronger Security: Redesigned firewall and routing policies in line with best practices
- Scalable Platform: VMware vCenter Server now supports dynamic growth and resource flexibility
This successful Tekrom IBM Cloud migration illustrates how the right partnership and tools can deliver secure, compliant, and efficient cloud transitions.
