VMware 24-Hour,
$0 Modernization Assessment

Understand your VMware and modernization options ahead of your renewal deadline--fast and fully funded.

If VMware has been the backbone of your infrastructure for years, you’re not alone--many leaders and teams have built entire careers mastering it. But with new bundles, 72-core minimums, annual subscriptions and no option to renew legacy licenses, leaders are now facing decisions with long-term architectural impact.

Loka’s 24-Hour, Zero-Dollar Assessment gives you a clear, data-driven understanding of your current VMware footprint and the strategic options ahead, including moving to a cloud like AWS or staying the course with VMware.

Think of it like a doctor’s evaluation: You get a diagnostic, a recommended path based on your environment and a clear understanding of the business and financial outcomes for each option, including committing to Broadcom. The result is the healthiest way forward for your business.
