VMware replacement is becoming an urgent priority for many enterprises as Broadcom’s commercial changes and the end of vSphere 7 support increase cost pressure and operational risk.
This report frames VMware replacement for 2026-2028 as a governed portfolio program, not a one-time platform swap. It starts with workload and application segmentation, using evidence from inventories and operational data to classify criticality, recovery needs, modernization readiness, and constraints.
It then defines target options for VMware replacement, typically combining an on-prem virtualization lane, a Kubernetes virtualization lane, and a public cloud lane. A layered reference architecture standardizes identity and privileged access, networking, observability, automation, and data protection across platforms.
For execution, VMware replacement is organized through dependency management, plus a migration factory and wave planning. The focus is on removing shared blockers early on and enforcing operational readiness gates, such as tested backup and restore, monitoring integration, and clear support ownership.
