Why Organizations Are Acting Now

The VMware Problem Is Real and Urgent

📈

Costs Tripled Overnight

Broadcom's 2023 acquisition forced customers into mandatory subscription bundles. Most organizations report 3–5× licensing cost increases at renewal.

⏰

Renewal Deadlines Are Real

Legacy perpetual licenses are being discontinued. If your renewal is approaching, you need a plan. Whether you migrate or stay on VMware through a lower-cost provider, you have more options than Broadcom wants you to know about.

🗺️

You Have More Options Than You Think

You can migrate to a new platform, or keep running VMware through providers with significantly lower pricing than Broadcom. Bridgepointe maps out every path, including ones Broadcom won't tell you about.

All Options on the Table

Migrate, or Stay on VMware for Less

We compare every path: migrate to a new platform, or keep VMware through a provider with significantly lower pricing than Broadcom. No vendor bias.

Option 1
Stay on VMware for Less
No migration required

You don't have to leave VMware to escape Broadcom's pricing. Bridgepointe has access to providers that let you keep running VMware at significantly lower cost. Same tooling, same workflows, fraction of the price.
