With Broadcom’s recent VMware acquisition, IT directors face a rapidly changing licensing landscape. Broadcom has moved to simplify VMware’s portfolio but, in doing so, has shifted to a subscription-based licensing model, which has led to unexpected cost increases for many. As a result, IT leaders are being pushed to rethink their VMware strategies to avoid budget increases.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has a solution with HPE VM Essentials, a pre-packaged solution designed to help IT departments gain control over VMware costs. HPE VM Essentials combines HPE ProLiant servers with VMware vSphere licenses and support, providing a tightly integrated virtualization stack perfect for small and mid-sized environments.
By bundling infrastructure and virtualization in a simplified, cost-effective model, HPE VM Essentials helps IT teams avoid the full brunt of Broadcom’s new licensing structure. The solution reduces complexity, optimizes performance, and allows organizations to lock in predictable VMware footprint costs. Additionally, leveraging HPE’s infrastructure, support, and lifecycle management expertise enables IT departments to enhance operational efficiency and minimize overhead.
If you’re looking for a way to optimize your VMware environment while navigating Broadcom’s changes, VM Essentials may be a solution. Contact your American Digital representative today to learn more.
