VMware by Broadcom Transition Advisory: Which Path is Right for Your Business?

VMware has been part of Broadcom since the end of 2023. Since then, there have been numerous changes to VMware products, including a shift to a subscription-based model and the termination of numerous VMware partners. With classic perpetual licenses expiring and no longer being extended, many customers are now uncertain about which path to take during this transition.

The landscape of VMware solutions has undergone significant changes since its acquisition by Broadcom. As a business that relies on VMware, you might feel overwhelmed by the rapid shift to a subscription-based model, the restructuring of bundles, and the recent announcement of the EUC division’s sale. The question stands: How do you navigate this transition smoothly? In this blog article we explore the various options and what they could mean for your organisation.

Embrace the Change: Subscription Model

Transitioning to VMware’s subscription model may seem daunting, but it offers a fresh perspective on managing your infrastructure. It’s an opportunity to reassess your needs and align your IT strategy with the evolving digital landscape.

Explore Alternatives: Software Providers

If the subscription model doesn’t fit your business, exploring alternative software providers could be the key. There are numerous options available that might better suit your unique requirements.

Leverage the Cloud: Managed Services

Outsourcing tasks to cloud managed services can streamline your operations and introduce new efficiencies. It’s a strategic move that can free up valuable resources and foster innovation.

Considerations for a Smooth Transition

A successful migration involves careful planning and consideration of several factors:

• Licensing & Costs: Understand the financial implications and seek ways to optimise expenses while maintaining operational integrity.
• Infrastructure Compatibility: Ensure your current setup is ready for a cloud-based solution, and plan necessary upgrades or adjustments.
• Application Continuity: Guarantee the seamless functioning of your applications post-transition to safeguard your business processes.
• Data Security: Migrate data securely, adhering to compliance standards and governance protocols.
• Strategic Alignment: Choose the path that best supports your long-term business goals and strategy.
