Extend and migrate VMware workloads to the cloud with the benefits of Azure
Broadcom's shift to subscription-based licensing for VMware means you're facing unprecedented price hikes!
It's widely known that Broadcom has targeted VMware's 1,500 most profitable customers. If you're not part of that team, negotiating new contracts will be incredibly challenging and expensive, given that VMware's new pricing bundles include products you'll probably never use.
Couple that with VMware's drastic switch from processor to core licensing, and your VMware software spend could surge by 5X–40X.
If you want to avoid paying the premium for VMware, Microsoft's Azure VMware Solution (AVS) offers you the fastest and most cost-effective way to migrate your VMware workloads.
