Broadcom Strategy Engagement

Guidance and Clarity for Your Private Cloud Strategy

Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has led to changes in licensing and pricing, with a focus on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). ePlus can help you navigate your options and determine the best choice for your organization. Our four-week Broadcom Strategy Engagement will evaluate your readiness to adopt VCF 9, review options, and apply a structured decision framework to identify your optimal path forward.

Strategy Engagement Overview

Project Initiation

ePlus conducts an initial consultation to align engagement scope, delivery approach, timelines, participant commitments, and key milestones and deliverables.

VMware Environment Discovery

We perform a VMware Licensing Assessment to analyze your existing VMware infrastructure and identify opportunities for license optimization, where applicable.

Discovery Interviews

Through structured interviews with key stakeholders and subject matter experts, we assess your current VMware environment and other technologies in use, gaining critical insights into how your organization leverages private cloud infrastructure.

Analysis of VCF9 Migration Options and Alternatives

We conduct an in-depth cost/benefit analysis of migrating to VCF9, adopting an alternative hypervisor, and migrating to cloud. This research-focused approach considers:

  • Technical feasibility/compatibility
  • Cost implications, requirements, and savings
  • Potential benefits (performance, efficiency, security, business alignment)
  • Potential risks and challenges

Decision-Making Framework

We systematically evaluate private cloud options through quantitative and qualitative analysis, enabling informed strategic decisions that align with your business objectives. This approach balances cost metrics with critical factors like risk tolerance and business alignment to identify the optimal virtualization strategy for your organization.

Broadcom Strategic Plan

Based on the output from our decision-making framework, we work with your team to develop a tailored strategic plan that outlines the key milestones, timelines, and resource requirements for executing your private cloud strategy.
