In late 2023, a major player in the virtualization solutions market finalized its acquisition of a software company specializing in virtualization technologies, resulting in significant shifts in the latter’s licensing structure. As these changes take effect, many businesses relying on these solutions are confronting the possibility of increased costs.
"Following the recent acquisition of VMware the long-standing licensing structure is undergoing significant changes. One of the most notable shifts is the move from traditional perpetual licensing to a subscription-based model. This transition means that businesses will now pay for access to the software on a recurring basis rather than through a one-time purchase. While this new model offers flexibility and scalability, it also introduces ongoing financial commitments that may not have been previously anticipated.
During this session, you will learn about:
• The implications of VMware’s new licensing model and the potential challenges it presents for businesses.
• How IBM Power10 serves as a viable alternative for managing costs effectively.
• The benefits of migrating to IBM Power10 while maintaining performance and scalability."
