Your VMware assessment case

The fastest way to turn uncertainty into board-ready

When technology and licensing landscapes shift, clarity becomes the most valuable asset. Decision-makers need to know costs, risks, and opportunities before acting.

An Assessment Case is designed to provide exactly that - a structured, evidence-based view of options and outcomes.

What it delivers

The Assessment Case gives you a numbers-first, board-ready report. It models the total cost of ownership, compliance implications, and operational impact.

This enables leadership to make decisions with confidence and accountability. It transforms uncertainty into a clear plan of action.

Why it matters now

The Broadcom-VMware merger has made renewal, migration, and funding conversations urgent. Organisations cannot afford reactive decisions.

An Assessment Case replaces opinion with data. It ensures the business case stands up under scrutiny.

The process

Working with an approved partner, the assessment gathers workload, licensing, and performance data. It identifies funding opportunities, migration paths, and areas of optimisation.

Results are delivered in a concise, defensible format suitable for board presentation.

Your next step

For Cloud Community members, the Assessment Case is available at no cost (minimum six VMs) and with no obligation to proceed. It has a commercial value of £15,000.

Ready to take control of your VMware strategy?

Broadcom’s changes have created uncertainty in VMware estates, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Through the Cloud Community, you’ get a privileged pass straight to a no-cost, no-obligation, board-ready assessment worth £15K.

These assessments give organisations the evidence needed to modernise and migrate confidently, ensuring they avoid overspending and maximise the return on their cloud investment.

Assessments are funded by AWS to help our community VMware customers evaluate the impact of changes to the VMware business model, by providing data-driven plans that identify cost savings, optimise licensing, and reduce migration risks.
