Turning migration into modernization

The VMware shake up has led to an IT inflection point. Leaders are now weighing whether to renew, migrate, or redesign entirely for the cloud era. In late 2023, a long-trusted virtualization staple became the biggest open question on the enterprise IT roadmap. Amid concerns of VMware licensing changes and steeper support costs, analysts noticed an exodus mentality. Forrester predicted that one in five large VMware customers would begin moving away from the platform in 2024. A subsequent Gartner community poll found that 74% of respondents were rethinking their VMware relationship in light of recent changes.
