Gartner® Report: Manage Your Dependence on VMware vSphere

Published On: 20th March 20241.9 min readTags: , , , , , ,

VMware’s position in the virtualization marketplace has led to a high dependency on their products, particularly vSphere.

Now, following their acquisition by Broadcom, there has been changes to VMware licensing, causing an interest amongst its users to consider alternative virtualization products.

But having been reliant on these solutions for upwards of a decade in some cases, this shift away from products like vSphere has come with its own set of challenges–something many are struggling to navigate alone.

Acutely aware of this, Gartner® has put together a VMware-focused report titled: “Manage Your Dependence on VMware vSphere”. We believe this new release serves as a guide to assist confused and concerned business leaders reliant on VMware vSphere for their applications and processes. Additionally, it helps educate on alternate server virtualization platform options, providing the tools necessary to create a contingency plan.

Topics covered in the Gartner report also include:

  • The business impacts that VMware vSphere customers are likely to experience from Broadcom’s recent licensing changes.
  • What criteria customers should consider in order to justify a large-scale migration from VMware to alternative server virtualization products.
  • Advice and recommendations for leaders who have found themselves dependent on VMware products after several years of use.
  • Several paths for large-scale migrations from vSphere to alternate solutions based on tried and tested methods.
