VMware MigrationVMware costs are about to multiply
VMware is the virtualization platform that runs the servers at most community banks. Since acquiring it in 2023, Broadcom has eliminated perpetual licensing and shifted focus entirely to enterprise clients. The result is a pricing strategy designed to push smaller customers off the platform.

Industry reports indicate another 50%+ increase before year-end. $45K+ estimated savings over three years for a community bank that migrates before its 2026 renewal.
Migrate to Microsoft Hyper-V
Hyper-V is included with your existing Windows Server Standard or Datacenter licensing. This is a full infrastructure project, not a license swap. Everything that touches VMware has to be rebuilt, reconfigured, and validated.
Virtualization Hosts
Rebuilt from the ground up on Hyper-V
Backup & Replication
Veeam jobs reconfigured and validated
High Availability
Server failover rebuilt for Hyper-V
SAN Integration
SAN configuration with new hypervisor
Disaster Recovery
DR procedures rewritten and tested
Security Hardening
Full hardening and documentation
This is not just a migration.
It is the foundation of your infrastructure for years to come, which is why the standard matters more than the timeline. We know exactly what the security hardening, the documentation, and the DR procedures need to look like to satisfy your examiners, and we complete every migration to that standard.
