Sheetz, a US convenience store chain, is transitioning its 838 locations from VMware virtualization. The company has utilized VMware across two Dell R440/R450-series servers at each location since 2019. Sheetz is migrating 12 to 14 virtual machines (VMs) in each store from VMware vSphere to StorMagic’s SvHCI, with plans to replace an additional two VMs as it transitions from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Scott Robertson, infrastructure team manager at Sheetz, stated that the company will ultimately move approximately 11,000 VMs from Broadcom's platform. As of now, Sheetz has completed the migration for over 600 stores, averaging 200 stores per month, and expects to finish the process in four months.
