The new VMware licensing model changes the game

Rethink your VMware strategy

Broadcom's new licensing model is a game changer. For many IT departments, it means less predictability, higher costs, and new usage limitations. Especially for mid-sized businesses with tight budgets, every change in licensing terms becomes a strategic decision.

A scenario we're seeing more and more: A company is running a stable VMware environment when the new regional licensing rules suddenly make the setup expensive and restrictive. Instead of rushing into a migration or paying for costly add-on licenses, the team decides to right-size their environment. That's where glueckkanja comes in. With its shrink approach, glueckkanja helps reduce the on-premises footprint to what's truly needed and move the rest to Azure in a planned, predictable way. Microsoft supports this approach through the Azure Accelerate funding program. The result: what starts as pressure to act becomes a smart, future-ready strategy.

The Benefits of Moving to Azure

From predictable costs and funded projects to a future-ready cloud architecture — the advantages go far beyond licensing.

Cost Transparency and Predictability

Broadcom’s new licensing policy makes costs unpredictable. Azure offers a scalable, predictable pricing model — and Microsoft funding further reduces initial expenses.

Modern Cloud Architecture — No Detours

No need for an interim hypervisor: glueckkanja migrates workloads directly to Azure — standardized, automated, and streamlined.

Fast Start with Funding Support

Through the Azure Accelerate program, assessments and proof-of-value projects are often funded up to 100%.

Foundation for Modernization and AI Readiness

Cloud migration delivers more than new infrastructure — it establishes the foundation for centralized data management, automated security, and future AI scenarios.
