You didn't ask for a VMware cost crisis. But here you are.
Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has fundamentally changed the economics of virtualization. Healthcare organizations across the country are opening renewal quotes and finding costs that have doubled, tripled, or worse. The licensing model you've relied on for years is gone—replaced by subscription bundles that force you to pay for capabilities you may not need.
This isn't a negotiating tactic. It's the new reality.
Meanwhile, your VMware environment has grown more complex over time. vSphere, vCenter, vSAN, NSX, plus the third-party tools bolted on for backup, disaster recovery, and security. Every upgrade is a project. Every troubleshooting session requires multiple specialists. And the engineers who truly understand your environment? They're either approaching retirement or fielding calls from recruiters every week.
You're facing a decision with significant implications for your organization's budget, your IT operations, and honestly, your own credibility. The wrong move could mean patient care disruption, runaway costs, or a migration that drags on for months beyond schedule.
The right move is a clear path forward with a partner who's done this before—specifically in healthcare environments like yours.
