Concerns about VMware aren’t new, they existed before the acquisition, but they’re a growing crisis due to recent changes by Broadcom. Many in the industry are looking for answers or alternatives to VMware. That’s why we’re providing access to The CIO’s Guide to Broadcom’s Acquisition of VMware by Gartner® analysts Palmer, Cisek, and Harvey available as a complimentary download.
We feel the challenge isn’t just alternatives to VMware! We’ve noticed many companies’ infrastructure buying patterns and vendor relationships are deeply intertwined with VMware. IT leaders need to develop a strategy for consuming infrastructure and taking ownership of the stack without VMware.
While finding and evaluating VMware alternatives are a burden to overworked operations teams, the Gartner® report highlights opportunities to assess, optimize, and update key technologies. We feel the analysis and insights are crucial in facing this, so it’s a must-read if you’re considering your options. After that, utilize our VMware migration workbook to evaluate your dependency and explore alternative plans.
