Get more from your VMware investment

Reduce risk, preserve flexibility, and prepare for what comes next with a practical guide to VMware planning.


VMware has changed. From licensing and packaging to VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9 requirements and approaching support milestones, organizations face important decisions about the future of their environments.

But choosing the right path forward involves more than deciding whether to upgrade.

The Get more from your VMware investment guide helps IT leaders understand the milestones ahead, assess their existing environments, and evaluate the infrastructure and operating model options available to them.

Inside the guide, you'll learn:

  • Which VMware milestones and changes deserve attention as you plan your year
  • What VCF 9 infrastructure readiness means for your existing environment
  • How to evaluate the cost, risk, and operational impact of different VMware strategies
  • Where a managed private cloud approach may help reduce operational complexity
  • How to preserve flexibility while planning upgrades, migrations, or infrastructure investments

You don't have to make every decision today. But understanding your options now can help you make better decisions when the time comes.
