De-risk your enterprise: How CXOs can successfully navigate Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware

News accounts that raise the possibility of increased prices, lack of innovation, and reduced support from a critical IT vendor suggest risks that CIOs and other C-level executives (CXOs) simply cannot ignore.

Yet these are the risks that many VMware customers are grappling with in the wake of the Broadcom acquisition, often resulting in a sense of urgency and uncertainty. It’s a defining moment for CXOs prompting the need to critically re-evaluate IT investments and explore modern platforms that promise to secure their enterprise’s future.

The risks are substantial. However, the good news is that there are options available. Those options for VMware customers include running new workloads on a modern platform, embracing the scalability and innovation offered by extending to the cloud, and/or converting legacy infrastructure to a platform that best aligns with their evolving enterprise needs.

For forward-thinking CXOs, this transition period is not just about mitigating risks. It’s about seizing the opportunity to reimagine their technology real estate, consider a broader range of cloud and virtualization solutions, and equip their enterprise for sustained success in the digital era.

Run new workloads on a modern platform

Running new workloads and applications on a modern platform such as the Nutanix Cloud Platform solution enables CXOs and their IT organizations to achieve two critical goals:

1. Constrain their VMware commitments, costs, and deployments as needed.
2. Construct and run new and modern workloads and new instances of existing workloads on a more predictable, flexible hyperconverged infrastructure-based platform.

Nutanix offers a viable option and superior platform for customers navigating the Broadcom acquisition of VMware. Specifically, the Nutanix Cloud Platform delivers a secure, resilient, and self-healing environment perfectly designed for today’s modern enterprise and modern applications.

Moreover, the Nutanix platform excels in application, data, and license portability for the effortless movement of applications and data across clouds and on-premises while considering performance, cost, and data sovereignty requirements.

The Nutanix platform also delivers unified management across hybrid multicloud setups and seamless operations regardless of location and it simplifies managing data centers and both clouds and edge environments. And the Nutanix obsession with customer satisfaction is evident, with a Net Promoter Score consistently above 90.

Extend to the cloud

What Nutanix brings to the table is a transformative approach that significantly simplifies the movement of workloads and applications to the cloud, focusing on control, efficiency, and adaptability.

Nutanix streamlines the process of building out public cloud infrastructure and facilitates the portability of applications and workloads to the cloud – minimizing the cost and effort required for cloud migration. Furthermore, Nutanix delivers a modern hybrid multicloud platform that ensures effortless mobility of workloads, efficient management, and the portability of licenses across diverse multicloud environments, including public, private, and hybrid clouds.

Experienced CXOs considering the use of multiple public clouds know to ask whether there will be a need to refactor or re-architect applications. Nutanix addresses this with a single management pane for comprehensive visibility into public cloud expenditures, complete with chargeback and budgeting functions. This allows the movement of applications between on-premises environments and public clouds without the need for refactoring and offers a seamless, governance-enhanced cloud migration experience.

Convert your infrastructure

For CXOs, the responsibility to ensure that an enterprise’s IT infrastructure is robust and future-proof is paramount. That is why more enterprises are converting their VMware infrastructure to the Nutanix Cloud Platform with its integrated, enterprise-grade AHV hypervisor.

When an enterprise decides to convert from VMware and legacy infrastructure, Nutanix offers similar capabilities in a modern platform that suits all workloads.

To facilitate the sizing and migration of workloads, Nutanix offers comprehensive migration toolkits alongside professional migration services through Nutanix and its authorized partners, ensuring a swift and efficient migration process.
