Frequently asked questions
Why did the agency need to migrate more than 800 virtual machines?
The agency faced an urgent deadline to vacate a legacy data center running aging end-of-life hardware, with little time to refactor applications and with stringent target-environment controls spanning CMCC, NIST, ITAR, and ISO-aligned requirements.
How did Mentat migrate the VMs into Azure Government?
Mentat combined VMware replication and migration tooling with Jenkins, Terraform, PowerShell, PowerCLI, and Ansible orchestration inside a large Azure Government landing zone that used zero-trust VNets, ExpressRoute connectivity, and Check Point firewalls in Scale Sets.
What migration outcomes were published for the 800-plus VM program?
Published outcomes include zero data corruption, minimal application downtime, applications tested and approved by owners, inherited tagging and automation in the new estate, and a target data center configured with policy-driven controls.
