Reclaim IT Leverage: Sifting through Market Hype in the Post VMware Age

After Broadcom hiked up VMware prices, most customers had no leverage to negotiate better subscription rates. So now as VMware customers seek alternative solutions, many want a flexible tech stack that won’t make them vulnerable to price increases or deteriorating service levels. A number of infrastructure vendors claim to eliminate vendor lock-in, but it’s hard to figure out who’s blabbing marketing hype, and who can actually deliver. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how some VMware alternatives can introduce new forms of lock-in, and how your organization can find a solution that genuinely frees you from proprietary constraints, so you can restore your leverage over IT suppliers. Michael Tillman, Solution Architecture Manager, will cover: - The different dimensions of vendor lock-in, even with open source-based solutions - How leading VMware alternatives stack up, including Nutanix, Red Hat, Canonical, and Mirantis - Why you need to go beyond platform flexibility and strategically implement a complete vendor-neutral solution that will provide long-term payoffs
