The VMware Problem Is Real and Urgent
Costs Jumped Overnight
Broadcom's 2023 acquisition forced customers into mandatory subscription bundles. Across the 60+ VMware renewal quotes our advisors reviewed between 2024 and 2026, increases cluster in the 2–5× range. Publicly disclosed cases run higher still, because a renewal has to be extreme before anyone outside the deal hears about it.
Renewal Deadlines Are Real
Legacy perpetual licenses are being discontinued. If your renewal is approaching, you need a plan. Whether you migrate or stay on VMware through a lower-cost provider, you have more options than Broadcom wants you to know about.
You Have More Options Than You Think
You can migrate to a new platform, or keep running VMware through providers with significantly lower pricing than Broadcom. Bridgepointe maps out every path, including ones Broadcom won't tell you about.
VMware options and cloud alternatives
We compare every path: migrate to a new platform, or keep VMware through a managed provider. No vendor agenda, just the options that fit your environment. Already have a destination in mind? The step-by-step guides go deeper, from VMware to Proxmox to VMware to GCVE.
