Broadcom's acquisition of VMware is driving 2-10x cost increases. We help you evaluate alternatives, negotiate renewals, and migrate to cost-effective platforms.
Broadcom's VMware acquisition has fundamentally changed the economics of virtualization. Forced bundle migrations, elimination of perpetual licenses, and dramatic price increases are hitting IT budgets hard — and the audit risk from mismanaged transitions adds another layer of financial exposure.
Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has sent shockwaves through enterprise IT. Licensing changes, forced bundling, and aggressive price increases of 2-10x are creating a budget crisis for organizations dependent on VMware infrastructure. UMS helps you take control — whether that means negotiating the best possible VMware renewal, migrating to alternatives like Nutanix, Microsoft Hyper-V, or cloud-native infrastructure, or building a hybrid strategy that reduces vendor lock-in.
We quantify exactly how Broadcom's changes affect your VMware spend — current costs, projected increases, and total exposure under new licensing terms.
Comprehensive evaluation of alternatives: Nutanix, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM-based platforms, and cloud-native options. We map your workloads to the most cost-effective platform.
If staying with VMware makes sense for some workloads, we negotiate from strength — with competitive alternatives ready and benchmark pricing from our database of comparable deals.
VMware licensing transitions create audit exposure. We ensure your environment is compliant through every stage of migration, eliminating surprise liabilities.
We analyze your current VMware estate, map workloads, and quantify the financial impact of Broadcom's licensing changes on your environment.
We build a migration or renewal strategy with competitive alternatives, benchmark pricing, and a phased execution plan that minimizes risk and disruption.
Whether migrating or renegotiating, we manage the process end-to-end — ensuring compliance, performance, and cost targets are met.
We're seeing 2-10x increases depending on the organization's current licensing model. Perpetual license customers and those on a la carte pricing are hit hardest. We can quantify your specific exposure in a 2-week assessment.
Not necessarily. The right answer depends on your workload mix, existing investments, and operational capabilities. We help you build a strategy that may include VMware for some workloads, alternatives for others, and cloud-native for new deployments.
Nutanix AHV, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM-based platforms (Proxmox, Red Hat), and cloud-native infrastructure (Azure, AWS) are the most common alternatives. Each has trade-offs — we help you evaluate based on your specific environment.
We share in the documented cost reduction achieved through migration, renegotiation, or optimization. If we don't reduce your VMware/infrastructure costs, you pay nothing.
