VMware 24-Hour Zero-Dollar Assessment

A fast, fully-funded way to understand your VMware options and keep your business moving forward.

If VMware has been the backbone of your infrastructure for years, you’re not alone —many leaders and teams have built entire careers mastering and optimizing 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–whether that's 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.
