VMware Uncertainty

Since Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, many businesses are facing serious uncertainty. Licensing models have changed. Perpetual licenses are being phased out. Support structures have shifted. Many organisations are now dealing with:

  • Unexpected cost increases due to subscription-only pricing

  • Confusing license transitions that disrupt budgeting and planning

  • Reduced partner ecosystem and fewer support options

  • Pressure to migrate quickly to remain compliant or maintain support

  • Concerns over vendor lock-in or diminishing VMware roadmap clarity

These developments are creating real risk—especially for businesses reliant on VMware-based infrastructure.

What You Should Be Doing Now

Inaction is the biggest risk. To avoid disruption and unexpected costs, businesses should:

  • Audit existing VMware environments to understand usage, license types, and expiry risks

  • Review renewal options under the new licensing model

  • Evaluate future costs compared to historical spend

  • Explore migration paths including public cloud or alternate hypervisors

  • Build a transition roadmap early to stay ahead of forced decisions

Taking proactive steps now helps preserve flexibility and reduce future cost and risk.
