In this newsletter, we’ll explore how you can navigate the new VMware fine print and smoothly transition to better virtualization options for your business needs.

Moving Beyond Outdated Virtualization Models

The recent shifts in VMware’s partnership with AWS have left many companies grappling with increased renewal costs, new subscription-only models and the termination of one-year agreements altogether. These changes can seem constraining, but there’s good news - you’re not handcuffed.

Many business and IT leaders are unaware that they can exit their agreements without paying for the full term, thanks to the termination for convenience clauses. This is an opportunity for your business to reassess and make informed decisions that better align with your goals.?

• Understand the new agreements with termination for convenience clauses
• Explore the potential to exit without paying for the full 3 years
• Don’t underestimate the importance of researching terms
