Gartner projects that organizations planning to migrate from VMware should prepare for a lengthy and costly process, potentially taking 18 to 48 months and costing up to $3,000 per virtual machine. Michael Warrilow from Gartner emphasizes that migrations are intricate due to users relying on various VMware components beyond just virtualization. Many organizations lack clear migration strategies, leading to a culture of procrastination. Competitors like Nutanix highlight their products as replacements, but actual migrations will often involve nuanced adjustments and integrations, making the switch more complicated than anticipated.
Gartner's insights indicate that transitioning away from VMware is a complex process, often underestimated by organizations, requiring substantial time, resources, and planning.
Migrations from VMware involve not just hypervisors, but also networks, storage, and management tools, complicating the process and necessitating custom integrations.
Warrilow highlights that many VMware customers lack concrete migration plans, observing a trend of inaction driven by indecisiveness among organizations.
Organizations considering moving away from VMware can expect projects to span 18 to 48 months and can cost as much as $3,000 per VM.
