In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, maintaining a secure, scalable, and cost-effective IT infrastructure is essential for organisations. Enterprises also need infrastructure that preserves existing application configurations while supporting modern cloud capabilities.
eAppSys Limited, a specialised services partner to Oracle Corporation, helps organisations seamlessly transition their VMware environments to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS).
This migration approach enables organisations to preserve existing VMware investments and configurations, while benefiting from the scalability and flexibility of cloud infrastructure.
Whether your VMware cluster is running on ageing hardware or your organisation is pursuing IT landscape modernisation, OCVS on OCI provides a reliable and future-ready solution.
The Impact of Broadcom’s Acquisition of VMware
The acquisition of VMware by Broadcom Inc. has introduced significant changes to VMware’s licensing and pricing models.
Many organisations have experienced:

Substantial price increases
-
Bundled subscription models
-
Reduced licensing flexibility
-
Additional services bundled into packages that organisations may not need
These changes have prompted many enterprises to explore alternative virtualisation and cloud strategies that provide greater flexibility and cost transparency.
