VMware Alternatives: Ensuring Disaster Recovery Readiness - Organizations evaluating VMware alternatives focus on licensing costs, migration complexity, and feature parity. Disaster recovery rarely makes the shortlist, and that oversight can prove expensive. If the alternative cannot recover from a disaster efficiently, the cost of downtime and data…
The Economic Shift Supporting Private Cloud Adoption - VMware licensing costs and component prices surge while server supply tightens. Private cloud failed before because orchestrated stacks masked complexity rather than eliminating it. Technology maturity and economic pressure now make integrated private cloud platforms operationally essential and economically viable.
The VxRail Exit Options - Dell's VxRail product line is losing strategic importance, urging customers to explore exit options. Four paths are available: maintaining the status quo, migrating hypervisors with storage replacement, transitioning to Dell Private Cloud, or adopting a private cloud OS like VergeOS. Each option has implications for costs, migration complexity, and operational efficiency. Organizations must evaluate based on infrastructure preservation, execution risk, and simplification post-transition. Delaying decisions may limit future choices as hardware ages and support contracts expire.
Maximizing ROI in Infrastructure Automation - Infrastructure automation ROI disappoints when organizations spend more time maintaining automation than they save through it. Hardware refresh cycles, storage updates, and network changes force constant code rewrites on fragmented infrastructure. Unified infrastructure platforms eliminate the maintenance burden by leveraging architectural abstraction, preserving automation investments across hardware generations.
Reimagining VDI: The Impact of VMware Exit - A VMware exit presents an opportunity for IT leaders to reassess virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and infrastructure strategy as costs decrease and new compliance and security pressures arise. Embracing an infrastructure-wide consolidation can simplify operations, reduce costs, and enhance readiness for AI, transforming complex systems into a unified architecture.
Why Cloud Repatriation is Critical Post-VMware Exit - 83% of enterprise CIOs are now planning to bring workloads back on-premises—nearly doubling from 43% in late 2020. This dramatic shift toward cloud repatriation intersects perfectly with the current VMware migration crisis, creating an unprecedented opportunity for comprehensive infrastructure consolidation. The timing isn't coincidental, and the economic case is compelling.
Leveraging Hardware Diversity for Multi-Site IT Efficiency - Multi-site IT succeeds when hardware diversity meets software consistency—delivering flexibility, predictability, and simplicity across Edge, ROBO, Venues, and the core with VergeOS Virtual Data Centers.
AFA Deduplication vs vSAN - The transition from VMware requires careful consideration of deduplication and storage options. All-Flash Arrays (AFAs) excel in performance but are costly, while vSAN faces latency issues due to its complex architecture. Integrated ultraconverged systems like VergeOS eliminate trade-offs, improving efficiency and reducing costs by unifying deduplication with core hypervisor functions.
Rethinking ROBO and Edge - Enterprises with distributed operations are being compelled to reassess their ROBO and Edge strategies following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware. Long-held assumptions about how to manage infrastructure at remote offices, branch offices (ROBO), and edge locations need to be reexamined. Beyond…
Understanding the AFA Tax - Understanding the AFA tax requires factoring in inflated hardware costs, complex licensing, and layered infrastructure. This article breaks down the economics behind all-flash arrays and shows how integrated platforms eliminate the tax without sacrificing performance or availability.
