Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has sent shockwaves through the industry as Broadcom looks to streamline the portfolio, sell off portions of the business, and redo pricing & packaging for most of their offerings. The reception from customers has been lukewarm to say the least, leaving many organizations stuck wondering: now what?  Zerto for VMware vSphere has always been one of our most popular products, but there’s no denying that many of our customers are now planning an exit—even if only for some workloads initially. What can Zerto offer an IT team who are reconsidering their future with VMware by Broadcom? -- #migration #vmware #zerto - https://lnkd.in/ec6KPYkn

Given everything going on with the Broadcom acquisition and subscription changes, here is an interesting article around a CIO moving from VMware to Nutanix. #TechNews #CIO #VMware #Nutanix

Flattering analysis of #nutanix by David Vellante and Rob Strechay in wake of the #VMware #Broadcom acquisition: "Currently we see #Nutanix #AHV as a primary beneficiary of #1 as it is offering a functional stack and an easy migration path. Nutanix has spent the better part of the last five years perfecting KVM and making it their own with an emphasis on ease of use with many integrations and “push button” management features. Nutanix also has in our view some of the best migration tools to move from VMware to Acropolis." Read the full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/dZDe8fqd

Fear and Loathing in Broadcom: A Story of Financial & Technical Pain 🤕 The Broadcom acquisition of VMware has led to significant financial and technical distress for many formerly loyal VMware customers. As clients receive their new subscription proposals for VMware on-prem environments, the shock is palpable. We understand the pain, and we have some solutions to offer. 📉 Financial Pain: "Naked vSphere" Customers The most significant financial impact is being felt by "naked vSphere" customers—those using VMware solely as a hypervisor, perhaps with vCenter for management. Broadcom now requires a 16-core minimum purchase per CPU, and forces clients to purchase their VMware products bundled at an increased premium. For vSphere clients, and clients with 4, 8, or 12 cores per CPU, these unnecessary overheads lead to inefficient resource allocation and increased operational expenses. However, these customers are also in the best position to move their workloads. At Kudzu, we offer Migration Services to help these clients transition smoothly. Since their environments are not encumbered by additional VMware products like NSX (Software Defined Networking) or vSAN (Storage), they can easily migrate to another type-1 hypervisor such as KVM, Xen, Proxmox, or Nutanix AHV. We encourage clients to consider Kudzu on KVM and manage their new environment with CloudStack as a direct replacement for vCenter. 🗜 Technical Pain: VCF Customers Customers who invested in the full VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) stack, including storage, networking, management, and automation, are experiencing the most technical pain. Under Pat Gelsinger’s leadership, VMware aimed to make their stack indispensable by selling beyond just the hypervisor. Broadcom’s acquisition has only reinforced this strategy, making it challenging for these customers to move away. These clients face a multi-month or even multi-year exit strategy and will likely need additional IT budget just to maintain operations during the transition. It is crucial for VCF customers to begin the migration process immediately to avoid an emergency data center evacuation down the road, which could incur high costs. ✨ The Way Forward Regardless of whether you are a "Naked vSphere" or a "VCF" customer, it's time to start your journey away from VMware. We recommend including Kudzu in your evaluation process. We can help make this transition as smooth as possible.
