CloudSphere Key Insights: Assess Your VMware Workloads for Modernization on AWS
The Big Picture: Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware in November 2023 has led to significant changes for existing VMware customers, including a 3-11x increase in VMware licensing costs and alterations to support and partner programs. Given these changes, many VMware customers are considering migrating their on-premises systems running VMware to more cost-effective AWS cloud services.
By the Numbers:
- 3-11x: Increase in costs for VMware customers post-acquisition
- 65,000: Partners affected by the termination of VMware’s partner program
- 200+: Fully featured services offered by AWS
What’s Next: CloudSphere is collaborating with AWS to assist VMware customers in assessing and identifying cost savings through the migration of VMware workloads to AWS. CloudSphere’s Illuminate360 platform provides comprehensive IT visibility, enabling the rapid identification of VMware instances and applications. It also provides a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) estimate for migrating your VMware workloads to AWS.
CloudSphere’s VMware assessment offers critical insights to support timely, data-driven migration decisions:
- Scale: Capture the number of VMware instances currently running
- TCO: Provide a TCO to run workloads in AWS
- Duration: Assessment results within a week
- Cost to You: Fully funded—no cost to you
