VMware Migration Advisory
VMware TCO comparison and migration strategy before execution. Comes before the migration project.
☁️ BROADCOM VMware: KNOW YOUR OPTIONS BEFORE RENEWAL LOCKS YOU IN
Broadcom VMware licensing changes: 300–500% price increases. Perpetual licenses eliminated. Per-core subscription model. Your renewal date is your decision deadline. This advisory gives you the data to negotiate or migrate — before that deadline arrives.
VMware Migration Advisory — Assessment, Options, Decision Data
A focused assessment for organisations evaluating VMware alternatives. Covers workload discovery, 3-path TCO comparison, and migration planning — delivered as advisory, not managed service. You execute with your team or chosen partner; we provide the data and the plan.
- Workload Assessment: VM inventory, dependencies, performance data, and application mapping
- 3-Path TCO: AVS vs Hyper-V vs Azure native — 5-year cost comparison with current Broadcom pricing
- Migration Complexity Score: Each workload scored by migration complexity — identify the easy wins and the hard problems
- Licensing Optimisation: Azure Hybrid Benefit, Windows Server, SQL Server — maximise existing investment
- Risk Assessment: Migration risks per path — downtime, compatibility, performance, and skill requirements
- Decision Framework: Weighted scoring matrix for your specific priorities — cost, risk, timeline, capability
- Vendor Negotiation Data: TCO analysis gives you negotiation leverage with Broadcom — even if you decide to stay
- Implementation Partner Brief: If you choose to engage a migration partner — specification document ready to send
💷 THE MATHS
£499 one-time. Infrastructure consultant: £5,000–15,000 for equivalent assessment. VMware renewal at Broadcom pricing: 3–5× previous cost. This advisory pays for itself on the first vendor negotiation informed by the 5-year TCO data.
