Chris Montalbano of GovSmart has written a new white paper with Spectro Cloud Government for agencies weighing hypervisor costs and their options ahead of a VMware renewal.
The paper was written from the buying side. GovSmart sees renewal pricing across hundreds of public sector transactions and can provide almost any of the alternatives, so the analysis isn’t tied to one product.
The paper covers the documented cost picture, a case study in licensing volatility, and four migration paths assessed on how well they fit the public sector. It also includes a readiness model built from a real assessment of 1,146 virtual machines, where 28% were ready for automated migration and 8% should not move yet.
If your agency’s renewal date is coming up, read the white paper before the renewal does the deciding.
