Changes in VMware licensing – Why you should consider migrating now?

VMware, a long-time leader in virtualization, has introduced significant changes following its acquisition by Broadcom in 2023:

  1. End of perpetual licensing – Transition to a more expensive subscription-based model.
  2. Licensing model changes – Cost calculation shifted from RAM to CPU, with limited licensing options for smaller clients.
  3. End of Free vSphere Hypervisor – Introduction of cost and technological barriers.

These changes lead to increased costs and reduced flexibility, compelling organizations to rethink their IT strategies.
