VMware Administration & Infrastructure Design
You already have VMware. RSystems knows how to get the most out of it — and how to navigate the Broadcom licensing landscape your organization is now managing.
Context
What VMware does — and why the landscape has changed.
VMware consolidates multiple operating systems onto powerful servers, improving hardware efficiency and simplifying management. For organizations running on-premises infrastructure, it remains the dominant platform for server virtualization — providing flexibility, redundancy, and the ability to run workloads that can't easily move to cloud.
Following Broadcom's 2023 acquisition of VMware, organizations face significantly altered pricing models. Some have seen tenfold cost increases on annual subscriptions that previously operated on perpetual licenses. Understanding what you actually need — and what you're actually paying for — requires someone with hands-on experience in the current licensing environment.
RSystems operates VMware environments internally using Dell PowerEdge hardware, Synology storage, and Cisco networking — across multiple client industries. Our guidance on licensing, architecture, and alternatives comes from direct operational experience, not vendor relationships.
