Your dreaded VM renewal is coming. Have you seen the number yet?
We all know renewal conversations have changed in the last year or so. Perpetual licences are gone. Products you may not use are bundled into VCF anyway. The minimum purchase jumped to 72 cores.
For many organizations, that adds up to 2–3x the cost for the same environment, and some have seen far worse.
The good news is you’re less locked in than it feels. HighVail’s Modernize & Migrate team helps Canadian organizations exit lock-in at their own pace:
→ See what you’re really running, and what it costs to stay vs. move
→ Map each workload to the right platform, including Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, for example
→ Migrate with your data protected end-to-end, backed by our trusted data protection and cyber resiliency alliances (like Veeam or Cohesity)
→ Keep your data in Canada, with a 100% Canadian-owned team behind it
Don’t renew by default; get the real numbers first so you can make an informed decision. Book your exit conversation today: https://www.highvail.com/hvx/
