In recent times, the VMware ecosystem has undergone significant shifts, attributed to Broadcom's acquisition of VMware. These changes have presented substantial challenges for VMWare customers. Pricing model adjustments, product discontinuations, and revised package offerings have left many businesses uncertain about their cloud journey forward. Adding to the complexity, customers are given a tight window of 4 to 6 weeks to accept Broadcom's new terms and conditions before contract renewal, causing widespread chaos among customers.
Historically, VMware has been a pillar in virtualization and cloud computing. However, these strategic alterations have forced organizations to make tough decisions: either allocate more resources to IT budgets to accommodate the higher price for VMware Licenses and stay on-prem or invest in the cloud which is their eventual destination for scaling IT ops, gaining cost efficiency and harnessing AI for transforming their business. In this evolving landscape, AWS has emerged as the compelling cloud platform for targeting rapid transformations.
To help customers understand their current landscape, quickly explore options on AWS, migrate, and manage their hybrid cloud efficiently- AWS has offered various pathways and programs. AWS also recommends Concierto as the platform of choice for customers as they embark on this transition and for hybrid cloud ops.

Comprehensive Day 2 Hybrid Cloud Operations Capability
Migrations from VMware to AWS have the potential to disrupt operations as the workforce managing on-prem is usually not trained or certified to manage the cloud. Concierto offers a seamless transition and extensive capability in managing day-to-day operations in the cloud. This includes provisioning, service management, special ops such as monitoring, health checks, security, event management, and de-commissioning. The best part is customers can manage their cloud environments and On-prem from a single pane of glass.

This scalability ensures that all organizations can benefit from Concierto’s advanced capabilities, whether they are managing a few workloads or an entire enterprise IT infrastructure.

The platform’s user-friendly interface, in-built and external e-learning programs, and comprehensive support resources simplify the transition from traditional IT environments to modern cloud-based operations.
