How to Navigate the VMware License Cost Increase

Back Of Businessman Getting Lost In A Maze

VMware (Broadcom) has discontinued their VMware partner resell program. This announcement forces customers to move forward with one of three options:

  1. Buy directly from VMware,
  2. Migrate workloads to another hypervisor, or
  3. Make a platform change.

For many VMware customers, the price changes were abrupt, while others have the luxury of taking a little more time to explore their options.
