VMware Exit to AWS Migration Advisory Program

Enterprises evaluating a transition from VMware to Amazon Web Services need more than pricing comparisons — they need strategic clarity. The VMware Exit to AWS Migration Advisory Program by 1CloudHub delivers a structured, data-driven assessment of your current environment, renewal exposure, licensing impact, and 3–5 year Total Cost of Ownership.

Overview

Enterprises evaluating a transition from VMware to Amazon Web Services need more than pricing comparisons — they need strategic clarity. The VMware Exit to AWS Migration Advisory Program by 1CloudHub delivers a structured, data-driven assessment of your current environment, renewal exposure, licensing impact, and 3–5 year Total Cost of Ownership.

This advisory-led engagement helps you determine whether to stay, optimize, or strategically exit — backed by real infrastructure data, not assumptions.

Make Your Next VMware Decision With Data — Not Pressure.

Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has reshaped licensing models, contract structures, and renewal economics.

Many enterprises are now facing:

  • 3–5× renewal cost increases
  • Subscription bundle restructuring
  • Reduced SKU flexibility
  • Vendor lock-in exposure
  • Uncertain long-term TCO

Before your next infrastructure commitment, you need clarity. That’s what this assessment delivers.

Why Run This Assessment Now?

Because decisions made under renewal pressure reduce optionality. This program helps you:

  • Quantify 3-year VMware cost trajectory
  • Understand renewal exposure before negotiation
  • Identify overprovisioned workloads
  • Reduce licensing waste
  • Evaluate hybrid vs full cloud strategy
  • Validate whether staying on VMware is still optimal

Even if the outcome is “Stay,” you gain validated cost clarity.
