Virtualization: What’s Next

How to modernize before the next infrastructure era arrives


For many organizations, the virtualization decisions they make in 2027 will shape their infrastructure for the next decade.

The changing VMware landscape is already causing organizations to reconsider their virtualization strategy, from economics and licensing to flexibility and long-term platform direction. For VMware customers approaching the vSphere 8 lifecycle transition in October 2027, there is an additional reason to act.

But whether the catalyst is cost, complexity, strategic flexibility or lifecycle timing, the question isn’t simply:

Where do I move my VMs?

It’s: What should my virtualization architecture look like next?

Organizations have an opportunity to do more than replace one virtualization platform with another. They can decide which workloads should remain virtualized, which should be migrate or modernized, either immediately or at some time in the futre,, and how VMs, containers and AI workloads should operate together going forward.

Join us for a practical conversation about using this decision point to build for what’s next rather than simply recreating yesterday’s infrastructure somewhere else.
