VMware Migration

VMware Migration: Secure, Predictable, and Without Downtime

Consulting and implementation services for companies realigning their virtualization strategies in light of the Broadcom licensing changes.

VMWARE STRATEGY — WELL-FOUNDED, INDEPENDENT, FUTURE-PROOF

VMware in Transition – We'll Find the Secure Solution for Your Business

Since Broadcom's acquisition, VMware's licensing model, pricing structure, and support terms have changed significantly. As a result, many companies are faced with the decision of whether to continue operating their existing environment, optimize it, or migrate to a different platform.

We analyze your specific situation and present you with realistic options—whether it’s continued operation, consolidation, or migration. We guide you every step of the way, from the initial assessment to full-scale operation, always keeping security and compliance in mind.

Overview

Our Consulting Services

Our Core Competence

The right VMware strategy requires a sound assessment of your licensing situation, technical dependencies and future viability. That is why we jointly analyze your existing environment and develop a roadmap that fits your organization — whether continued operation, optimization or migration.

Core tasks:

  • Inventory of existing VMware licenses and environments
  • Evaluation of licensing models and cost scenarios
  • Planning of migration and alternative strategies
  • Implementation and ongoing operation of the target environment

Structure & operations:

  • Definition of migration paths and milestones
  • Integration into existing IT and compliance processes
  • Documentation and regular strategy reviews

Suitable for server landscapes, virtualization environments, storage systems, databases and applications as well as cloud and hybrid cloud environments — whether because of rising license costs, unclear support terms or the wish for greater independence.
