VMware Cost Optimization Assessment

Optimizing Your VMware Costs with House of Brick and OpsCompass

As part of our commitment to providing tailored solutions, we offer a VMware Cost Optimization Assessment using OpsCompass and our expert consultants. In the face of changes such as the Broadcom Acquisition and new subscription-only license policies, customers are expressing an urgent need to optimize VMware license costs.


Our assessment includes:

 

  • Evaluation of current-state architecture & utilization profile
  • Short-term savings by optimizing current VMware infrastructure
  • Longer-term optimized architecture

Potential follow-on engagements include workload-specific analysis, Oracle and Microsoft compliance review and optimization, hypervisor re-platform planning, and cloud migration strategy. Contact House of Brick to schedule your assessment and take the first step towards optimizing your VMware costs.

Evaluation of Current-State Architecture & Utilization Profile
