A global service provider based in North America and a Pinnacle‑tier Broadcom partner, engaged comdivision to support their migration from NSX‑V to NSX‑T (V2T). As one of the largest service providers in the Broadcom CSP program they required a structured, reliable approach to modernize their networking platform across multiple data centers.
“We knew where we wanted to go, but moving off NSX‑V required the right expertise. comdivision supported us throughout the migration and made the transition straightforward.”
