Insight and Actionable Intelligence to Optimize License Investments and Potential Costs

With Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, the renewal process includes a movement from perpetual licensing to subscription licensing, which may be more complex—and expensive—for your organization. As you explore reducing licensing costs and maximizing the value of your VMware environment, it is key to weigh your options and make informed, proactive decisions well before your renewal date. ePlus can help.
