Sheetz, a US convenience store chain, is transitioning its 838 locations away from VMware virtualization. The company has utilized VMware across two Dell R440/R450-series servers at each location since 2019. According to Scott Robertson, infrastructure team manager at Sheetz, the migration involves moving 12 to 14 virtual machines (VMs) in each store from VMware vSphere to StorMagic's SvHCI, with an additional two VMs being replaced in the coming months to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. In total, Sheetz plans to migrate approximately 11,000 VMs from Broadcom's virtualization platform. The migration process has already seen over 600 stores completed, averaging 200 per month, and is expected to conclude within four months.
