Plan Your VMware Exit

Broadcom has announced that its acquisition of VMware will be complete by the end of October. VMware’s accelerating renewal costs will accelerate while support and development will focus primarily on VMware’s largest 600 customers. Analysts and Pundits are almost universal in their recommendation; IT Planners need to develop a VMware Exit Strategy now.

Key Takeaways

  1. Select New Infrastructure Software (Don’t Compromise)
  2. Identify Hardware Requirements (Will Your Current Hardware Work?)
  3. Identify Changes to Data Protection / DR Strategy
  4. Develop a Testing and Migration Strategy
    4.5 Start by Taking a ½ Step – Work with a solution that will allow you to exit gradually. This is Infrastructure

VergeIO’s Inbox Respect Policy: We will send you no more than two e-mails per month

It has been two decades since Storage Area Networking (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) emerged as dominant parts of the IT infrastructure. In the last decade, we’ve seen Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) and Public Cloud arrive as alternatives. Each of these infrastructure iterations has failed in its primary mission: to reduce IT costs and complexity.

It is time to complete the mission! Organizations need an infrastructure that can reduce IT costs and complexity!

Join VergeIO for our on-demand webinar “Beyond HCI — The Next Step in Data Center Infrastructure Evolution.” During the webinar, we introduce the next step in infrastructure, ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI). During the webinar, we will explain what UCI is, how it works, and how it enables YOUR data center to deliver a more cost-effective and less complicated data center operating environment than SAN, NAS, HCI, or the Public Cloud.
