i4DM Month In Review | August 2025
HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?
Chipmaker Broadcom consolidated the VMware product suite into a single private cloud platform, leaving customers with difficult business decisions. Stay and pay the extremely high new costs, deal with limited choices, VCF or vSphere, or find a new solution, and figure out how to perform the migration.
WHAT IS THE WEAKNESS?
When migrating away from VMware, several issues can arise due to differences in virtualization platforms, formats, and tooling. You may encounter compatibility and conversion problems, such as downtime and data integrity risks, application and driver issues, management and operational differences, and knowledge and training gaps.
Users should strategize a plan before making the migration and understand key differences between the architectures, management paradigms, migration risk delays, and best ways to optimize the new environment.
