Migrate AVS to reduce costs
Are your VMware licences coming up for renewal
The new pricing model for VMware can lead to significant cost increases for some customers.
Switching to Microsoft’s Azure VMware Solution (AVS) offers a speedy and cost-effective alternative to mitigate rising platform ownership costs. AVS will typically allow significant reductions in customers’ cost customersand provide additional benefits such as scalability, security and a stronger AI-ready digital core.
Avoid rising VMware costs
What is behind this pricing issue
Broadcom acquired VMware in November 2023 and has introduced wide-reaching changes to product portfolios and licencing models.
What are the price changes
The pricing has shifted to a bundle subscription model meaning you can no longer maximise the lifecycle of a CapEx licence purchase and also, the bundle may include products you don’t use.
What is timing for price changes
The main consideration is your VMware licence expiration date, but now is the time to plan your mitigation strategy and surface potential cost savings even before the expiration date.
What's the likely impact?
These changes are resulting in significant cost increases for many customers
What value to move to AVS
Aside from cost savings, you can continue to utilise your investments in VMware
and extend those common tools to Azure. You can upskill your team in cloud in the process.
