Worried about the VMware acquisition? Technology Expert Labs can help.
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware and its subsequent licensing and product offering changes has resulted in enormous price increase and a lot of uncertainty for customers. Many VMware customers are now assessing alternative platforms for their workloads.
IBM® Power® is an attractive alternative platform for VMware customers because of its enterprise focus, native hypervisor capabilities, modernization technologies and presence of larger customer base for Oracle and SAP workloads. Clients can seamlessly migrate enterprise workloads on VMware to IBM PowerVM® and realize cost, reduced licensing, improved performance and scalability benefits. However, they may be worried about having the time, skills and resources to handle a migration and they may need support from an ISV during re-platform and post-migration exercises.
