vSphere 8 reaches end of life in October 2027. That’s only 14 months away. And it comes on the heels of licensing changes, hardware constraints, and cost pressure that have already put many organizations behind on planning.
Whether you’re upgrading to VCF 9 or migrating to an alternative platform, both require lead time for budget approval, testing, staff training, and a migration window that doesn’t disrupt production. And the closer organizations get to the deadline, the more they are competing for the same providers and resources.
This webinar is built to help you make the next year count.
Join Jon Rosenson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Expedient, on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET, as he covers:
- VMware today: What’s changed, what it means for your contracts, and what it means for how you plan the next 12–18 months
- Three strategic paths forward: How to evaluate staying, migrating, or a hybrid or phased approach — and which one fits your business
- Expedient’s Bridge Program: A practical framework designed to buy you time while you evaluate long-term options
- VMware vs. Nutanix decision criteria: Agnostic guidance on cloud infrastructure that aligns with business objectives
- Common pitfalls and how to avoid them: Why migration projects stall, how to navigate hardware constraints, and what actually derails phased strategies.
