VMware Migration
Your VMware Environment May Be Working Against You
"Our VMware licensing costs keep increasing with no end in sight"
VMware's Broadcom acquisition changed the pricing model fundamentally. Organizations that built their infrastructure on vSphere are now facing licensing costs that bear no resemblance to what they planned for.
"We're paying for VMware capabilities we never actually use"
Enterprise licensing bundles often include features that never get activated. You're funding capabilities that live in the contract but not in production.
"Our on-premise infrastructure needs a hardware refresh"
Hardware refresh cycles on VMware infrastructure are expensive. Each refresh extends your commitment to a platform whose cost trajectory has changed significantly.
"We don't know what migrating off VMware would actually cost"
The financial case for moving to AWS is unclear without a structured assessment. The unknown is what keeps organizations on infrastructure they know is getting more expensive.
"Our team is spending too much time managing VMware instead of building"
Administrative overhead for on-premise virtualization consumes engineering capacity that could be applied to development, modernization, or strategic projects.
"We were told to do an OLA but don't know what that means for us"
An AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment quantifies exactly what VMware migration is worth for your specific environment. COBRA is CleanSlate's execution of that program.
We Migrate VMware Environments Others Won't Touch
CleanSlate holds AWS Premier Tier status, achieved by fewer than 1% of partners worldwide. We cover all OLA licensing types including VMware, Oracle, IBM DB2, and Windows Server, the platforms where the largest cost and complexity opportunities live.
Licensing Analysis First
We model your BYOL options, reserved instance strategy, and total AWS cost before a single workload moves. You know the numbers before you commit.
MAP Funding Applied
As an AWS Premier Partner, we access Migration Acceleration Program funding that offsets significant migration costs. Most organizations are surprised by how much is available.
Your VMware Licensing Analysis Starts With COBRA™
COBRA™ covers all OLA types including VMware, Oracle, IBM DB2, and Windows Server. In ~2 weeks, you will have the actual financial case for migration, the licensing strategy, and a prioritized roadmap. In most cases, it is fully funded.
