Feeling the Financial and Operational Impact of VMware Changes?
Organisations everywhere are feeling the impact of rising costs, uncertainty, and pressure to modernise, - perhaps at a faster pace than they intended due to the changes brought about since the VMware acquisition by Broadcom.
This practical, hands-on session will show you exactly how to evaluate your current VMware environment, uncover hidden cost savings, and build a confident plan to move away from VMware using automation-driven tooling.
This isn’t a sales pitch; it’s a workshop designed to give you clarity, data, and a roadmap.

This session is ideal for:
IT Directors & Infrastructure Leaders
Cloud Architects & Engineering Teams
CIOs & CTOs
Anyone responsible for VMware strategy, cloud migration, or cost optimisation
