For the past two decades, VMware has dominated the infrastructure virtualization space, with organizations relying heavily on its ESXi platform for virtualizing their environments. However, the recent takeover of VMware by Broadcom has brought unprecedented changes that have unsettled the industry. These changes include the end of perpetual licenses, alterations to the licensing model requiring a minimum purchase of 16 cores, termination of existing contracts, and a significant increase in licensing costs. Such developments have posed challenges for numerous organizations worldwide.
As cloud modernization gains momentum, organizations are gradually reducing their dependence on on-premises infrastructure. While cloud adoption is on the rise, certain factors such as compliance, security, and legal restrictions necessitate the retention of specific resources on-premises. Despite the growing cloud trend, VMware remains the preferred choice for many specialists due to its longstanding presence. However, Broadcom’s actions to exploit this niche hosting requirement by significantly raising product costs have left many organizations feeling betrayed and actively seeking alternatives.
This book provides objective insights to help organizations break free from vendor lock-in and navigate the changing landscape. It delves into the ruthless changes introduced by Broadcom to VMware and discusses the challenges of transitioning to alternatives. By offering a practical understanding of various available options, including emerging virtualization technologies, the book empowers industry experts to manage their existing dependence on VMware effectively. Real-world case studies and examples further reinforce the argument for adopting diverse VMware alternatives tailored to the unique settings of each organization.
