In an era marked by significant changes in the virtualisation industry, notably Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, organisations are contemplating strategic shifts in their IT infrastructure. Our service not only assesses your current VMware environment but also guides you in exploring alternative virtualisation solutions, including different hypervisors, and potential transitions to SaaS and cloud platforms.
Utilising your existing data from tools such as Solar Winds and RV Tools, we provide a foundational analysis of your VMware setup. This analysis is geared towards not just understanding your current state but also evaluating potential transitions to alternative platforms.
