How to identify and evolve your operational patterns, reduce risk, and cut costs.
VMware has long been the most-chosen option for virtualization in enterprise IT. Many professionals have built their careers mastering its tooling, crafting more and more complex
environments that have powered businesses worldwide. But as the technological landscape evolves, so too must our approach to infrastructure. The private cloud is not dead; it’s undergoing a renaissance—a transformation that promises greater agility, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
Today, you are standing at a crossroads. On one path lies the familiar comfort of VMware, a platform you’ve used extensively and trusted. On the other, a new horizon beckons—a modern, open private cloud that promises to liberate you from the constraints and escalating costs of traditional virtualization.
This guide is your compass for that journey. This is the journey that we have charted for over a decade for organizations of all sizes.
This guide is your roadmap if you’ve decided to move away from VMware due to steep price hikes (often 3x to 5x the original costs) or to design a more future-proof, open, private cloud. If you’re ready to migrate to a new virtualization platform with a trusted partner, we’re here to help. We’ve used the principles in this guide to lead many large enterprises through this shift to a developer-friendly, cost-effective private cloud that meets today’s virtualization demands and sets the stage for a future-ready, scalable cloud experience.
