The Amdocs article addresses a significant challenge facing financial institutions: the rising costs of VMware, namely the Broadcom acquisition. Rising costs have prompted many institutions to consider alternatives such as public clouds, lift and shift migrations, and containers. This trend matches industry research; Gartner anticipates that by 2025, over 90% of enterprises will have adopted hybrid cloud models. Increasingly, however, cloud-native environments can deliver significant cost savings, increased scalability, and greater agility, but the difficulty of migrating legacy systems is an ongoing concern. For financial institutions seeking to migrate away from VMware, there currently needs to be a one-size-fits-all solution; a well-planned strategy is required. 'One of the options is the lift-and-shift where you put applications as is into cloud environments getting quick wins, but it may not deliver long-term cost savings.' On the other hand, institutions could adopt containerization—a way of modernizing applications using microservices architecture—to drastically improve efficiency and decrease operation costs. Flexera's study showed that 89 percent of companies already use a multi-cloud strategy, and many take advantage of the savings for their cloud investments. On top of that, public cloud platforms often provide better security, which is required in highly regulated industries such as finance, whose data integrity and compliance require stressing. It has yet to be determined what will happen with VMware, but staying with them has financial repercussions that are hard to underestimate. With Broadcom's acquisition, prices are likely to continue going up. Cloud migration, however, costs up front and demands careful planning so that downtime or service disruption doesn't happen. Key questions remain: What complexities do they face when migrating legacy systems? However, what are the best practices for securing data for that transition? How does competition become more vital in a more digital financial landscape, and how do cloud native technologies strengthen it? These will be critical issues as institutions shed the VMware cost trap and reinvent their IT infrastructure.
