Licensing terms have changed, and a lot of businesses are being asked to commit further out than their infrastructure plans actually run. There are three ways forward — we'll help you compare all of them.
Your free VMware review is on the way. We'll follow up within two business days with your options.
Since Broadcom's acquisition, VMware licensing has moved to a subscription model and renewal terms have generally gotten longer. For a business whose infrastructure plans run twelve months out, a multi-year minimum can mean paying for commitment it doesn't need. Your exact terms depend on your agreement — that's part of what the review looks at.
Often, yes. A number of cloud providers are licensed VMware Cloud Service Providers, meaning they hold the VMware licensing and deliver the environment as a monthly service. Your workloads stay on VMware; the licensing commitment sits with the provider rather than with you.
It's a middle path: you keep running on the hardware you already own while the licensing moves to a flexible lease, with an agreed migration to a provider's cloud inside a set window — commonly twelve months. It buys time without forcing a rushed cutover.
Yes. No cost, no obligation. We're an independent advisor and the provider you select compensates us. If the best answer is to stay on your current renewal, we'll say so.
No. We're not a VMware or Broadcom reseller. We compare providers who are licensed to deliver VMware as a service, and help you choose between them — the licensing relationship is theirs.
