VMware Migration Assessment
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has resulted in changes in its product strategy, prompting organisations to reassess their approach to virtualisation. The shift from perpetual licensing to subscription-only models has resulted in cost increases of up to ten times for some organisations. This is directly impacting those wanting to extract greater value from cloud, and adopting cloud-based solutions has become a crucial strategy for future-proofing IT investments.
To help customers navigate this transition, Cevo offers specialised expertise in migrating VMware environments to AWS native services. Our VMware Migration Assessment is the first step in understanding your unique requirements and developing a tailored migration strategy. This assessment provides valuable insights into your business and technical needs, evaluates your readiness for migration, identifies necessary skillsets, and estimates anticipated costs, ensuring a smooth and successful transition to AWS native services.
