VMware Optimization Services

Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has brought about significant changes to VMware's licensing model and product offerings. This could have significant consequences for organizations using VMware for their IT infrastructure. BeSharp's experts can help you clearly understand these changes, optimize your costs, and ensure the continuity of your IT environment.

Who is this service for?

The VMware Optimization Services are designed for medium-sized to large organizations using VMware and dealing with the new licensing models. These services are particularly relevant for companies with complex datacenter environments, organizations working with OEM partners like Dell or HPE, and businesses seeking greater transparency and cost savings within the new subscription structures.

How do we work?

Our process begins with a thorough analysis of your current VMware licenses, hardware, and support contracts. We map the impact of the new terms and conditions and develop a strategy to minimize your licensing costs. We then guide you through the transition to subscription models and support you in restructuring or renegotiating OEM contracts. Finally, we provide aftercare and monitoring to ensure your license management remains compliant and costs remain manageable.

FAQ

What does the change from processor-based to core-based licensing mean?

This change could lead to higher licensing costs, especially for companies with powerful, high-core servers. The standard license covers 16 cores per processor; additional licenses are required for each additional core.

What happens to my existing perpetual VMware licenses?

Existing perpetual licenses remain valid as long as there is an active support contract. However, Broadcom will no longer offer new perpetual licenses as of December 13, 2023.

How can I keep my license costs under control?

We advise you on the optimal license configuration, tailored to your infrastructure and the new subscription model, and help you with strategic choices to avoid unnecessary costs.

What are the consequences for my current support contracts?

Your existing support contracts remain valid until their expiration date. After that, you'll need to switch to the new subscription models. BeSharp Experts can help you evaluate the best options.
