A new assessment by Gartner highlights the complexities and costs of migrating from VMware, particularly for organizations with large-scale operations. The study revealed that migrating 2,000 or more VMs could take 18 to 48 months, with costs ranging from $300 to $3,000 per VM. Initial scoping requires significant staff resources, and projects involve thorough planning and testing phases. Basing decisions on the nature of Broadcom's offerings is crucial, as users often misunderstand their multifaceted role beyond just virtualization, complicating the migration process.
Migrating from VMware's server virtualization platform would require untangling many aspects of these investments.
Warrilow mentioned that VMware users often mistakenly view the Broadcom unit primarily as a virtualization product supplier.
