商品描述
For the past two decades, VMware has dominated the infrastructure virtualization space, with organizations relying heavily on its ESXi platform for virtualizing their environments. However, the recent takeover of VMware by Broadcom has brought unprecedented changes that have unsettled the industry. These changes include the end of perpetual licenses, alterations to the licensing model requiring a minimum purchase of 16 cores, termination of existing contracts, and a significant increase in licensing costs. Such developments have posed challenges for numerous Fortune organizations worldwide.
As cloud modernization gains momentum, organizations are gradually reducing their dependence on on-premises infrastructure. While cloud adoption is on the rise, certain factors such as compliance, security, and legal restrictions necessitate the retention of specific resources on-premises. Despite the growing cloud trend, VMware remains the preferred choice for many specialists due to its longstanding presence. However, Broadcom's actions to exploit this niche hosting requirement by significantly raising product costs have left many organizations feeling betrayed and actively seeking alternatives.
This book provides objective insights to help organizations break free from vendor lock-in and navigate the changing landscape. It delves into the ruthless changes introduced by Broadcom to VMware and discusses the challenges of transitioning to alternatives. By offering a practical understanding of various available options, including emerging virtualization technologies, the book empowers industry experts to manage their existing dependence on VMware effectively. Real-world case studies and examples further reinforce the argument for adopting diverse VMware alternatives tailored to the unique settings of each organization.
What You Will Learn
- Review the unprecedented changes brought about by Broadcom's takeover of VMware, including the termination of perpetual licenses, alterations to licensing models, and substantial increases in licensing costs.
- Understand the evolving landscape of virtualization technology and the challenges organizations face in transitioning away from VMware.
- Study the practical strategies and emerging virtualization technologies available as alternatives to VMware.
Who This Book Is For
IT architects, Admins, Technical Managers, CTOs, and Infrastructure solution experts.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在過去的二十年中，VMware 在基礎架構虛擬化領域中佔據主導地位，許多組織在虛擬化其環境時重度依賴其 ESXi 平台。然而，最近 VMware 被 Broadcom 收購帶來了前所未有的變化，這些變化使得行業感到不安。這些變化包括永久許可證的終止、要求最低購買 16 顆核心的許可模式變更、現有合約的終止，以及許可成本的顯著增加。這些發展對全球許多《財富》500 強企業造成了挑戰。
隨著雲端現代化的加速，組織逐漸減少對本地基礎架構的依賴。雖然雲端採用率上升，但合規性、安全性和法律限制等因素仍然需要在本地保留特定資源。儘管雲端趨勢日益增長，VMware 仍然是許多專家的首選，因為其長期存在的優勢。然而，Broadcom 透過大幅提高產品成本來利用這一利基市場的行為，使得許多組織感到被背叛，並積極尋求替代方案。
本書提供客觀的見解，幫助組織擺脫供應商鎖定，並應對不斷變化的環境。它深入探討了 Broadcom 對 VMware 所引入的無情變化，並討論了轉向替代方案所面臨的挑戰。通過提供對各種可用選項的實用理解，包括新興的虛擬化技術，本書使行業專家能夠有效管理他們對 VMware 的現有依賴。真實案例研究和範例進一步強化了採用多樣化 VMware 替代方案的論點，這些方案針對每個組織的獨特環境量身定制。
