Take control of your VMware renewal.

A clear plan for your VMware estate, built around your workloads, not Broadcom's pricing.

Broadcom's Changes Have Put Your Renewal Under the Spotlight

Since Broadcom bought VMware, the way you license and pay for it has changed. The move from perpetual licensing to subscription-only has brought significant price increases and the end of the VMware channel partner programme. Many customers have been left feeling uneasy about what comes next.

If you're approaching a renewal, a pricing review or a hardware refresh, you're probably asking the same questions as everyone else.

  • What will this cost us next year?

  • Are we paying for things we don't use?

  • Do we need to move, or can we stay put?

  • And who can we trust to give us an honest answer?

Our VMware Renewal & Strategy Assessment gives you a clear view of your costs, your options and where each of your workloads should run, so you can decide with confidence.
