Following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, the licensing model has shifted with a new subscription-based model and a minimum 16-core commitment reshaping costs and hardware investment plans for many organisations. This has caused a great deal of uncertainty and means that between now and March 2027, you will need to adjust your strategy.
We want to reassure you that regardless of whether you’re just starting to think about next steps or you’re fast approaching the end of your licensing agreement, we’re here to advise you and can help you to understand all the options available to you.
Redcentric can help you explore the impact of the licensing change, understand how it affects your business model, and help you build a plan, whether that’s on-premise or in the cloud, scaling up, or a complete rethink of your infrastructure.
Talk to us now about your licensing agreement timeline and we’ll help you evaluate your options so you can plan for the future.

With hardware approaching end of life and licensing renewal days away, one customer needed to act quickly. Redcentric migrated them to a fully managed private cloud, delivering continuity and control, fast.
A retail customer had ageing but still-viable infrastructure. We right sized their estate, cut excess capacity, and reduced VMware costs, giving them breathing space and a smooth path to private cloud.
One organisation used licensing changes to begin a structured public cloud migration. Starting with non-critical apps, they built guardrails for spend and policy control, keeping costs contained as they scale.
