Migrate and Modernize your VMware Application and Database Workloads to AWS
Do you know how much your next VMware renewal will be?
On November 22, 2023, Broadcom finalized its VMware acquisition and announced reductions to its product portfolio. Broadcom’s takeover of VMware has led to a 150%+ increase in costs, with some customers facing up to 1200% increases. Service quality is degrading, the licensing rules have changed, and renewal pressures have intensified. As a result, many users are looking to get off VMware before their next renewal date.
