Navigating VMware Uncertainty and Migration Options

Shine & AWS Roundtable Luncheon

Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has spurred concern among many VMware customers about pricing, supplier and partner management, support, and future product direction.

The changes in VMware’s licensing and subscription models could lead to substantial financial and operational impacts, and the long-term future of VMware Cloud on AWS​ is uncertain. Yet, with AWS announcing financial incentives to migrate VMs to their Cloud Native services, there’s an attractive business case for migrating and modernising workloads for increased scalability, improved performance, and reduced operational costs.

Roundtable luncheon with VMware and AWS experts

To unpack the challenges and explore the options, Shine, AWS and Optima are hosting an intimate roundtable luncheon with our leading VMware and AWS Migration experts.

The discussion will explore the changes and opportunities with:

    • VMware on-prem and VMware Cloud on AWS
    • Evaluating migration readiness & modernisation pathways
    • Financial incentives to migrate to AWS cloud-native services
    • The business case for migration
    • Optimisation & Licensing Assessment (OLA) savings
    • Rapid rehost tools and best practices to mitigate risk and accelerate timelines
