RiverMeadow - VM-based Cloud Migration to Google Cloud
In the wake of Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, many organizations are reevaluating their virtualization strategies due to concerns over increased costs and changes in service delivery. RiverMeadow, in partnership with Google Cloud, offers a seamless transition from VMware environments to Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE), providing a cost-effective and efficient migration solution.
Challenges Post-Acquisition
Broadcom's $61 billion acquisition of VMware has led to significant shifts in the virtualization landscape. Customers have reported substantial price increases, with some experiencing hikes of up to 175%, prompting concerns about the affordability and sustainability of continuing with VMware under Broadcom's management.
Additionally, Broadcom's decision to discontinue VMware's perpetual licensing in favor of subscription-based models has further complicated budgeting and planning for many organizations.
