Time to Transition from VMware to Native Cloud
Summary
The acquisition of VMware by Broadcom and the cessation of VMware service sales through AWS have introduced significant uncertainty and potential cost increases for organisations.
The recent acquisition of VMware by Broadcom and the subsequent halt in VMware service sales through AWS marks a significant turning point for many organisations. This shift introduces uncertainty, potential cost increases, and added risks for numerous customers. In today’s challenging business environment, managing budgets is already difficult, and these changes are unwelcome. If you’re looking to explore native cloud options and access potential funding to facilitate your transition, we can assist you.
Digital Space has a proven track record of helping customers migrate to the cloud swiftly and efficiently. As an AWS Cloud partner, we can secure substantial funding to reduce the costs of your migration. We’re uniquely positioned to train your teams in the new skills required to manage your cloud environment. Additionally, we offer interim managed services until your team is ready to take over.
We’ve already done much of the preparatory work by configuring a Cloud Landing Zone that includes essential elements such as monitoring and security from day one. Post-migration, our dedicated FinOps team will help you manage costs effectively.
We utilise native cloud tools to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption. We can also migrate and optimise legacy applications in the cloud.
How to get started
We offer a funded service called Discovery Lite, which assesses your on-premises or data centre VMware environment in less than seven days.
