Changes in VMware licensing have turned a stable platform into a moving risk
If you're running a hybrid or on-premises VMware estate, these three shifts are likely already affecting your budget and your risk posture.
Price increases
Post-acquisition licensing changes have driven unpredictable, often dramatic cost increases with little advance warning.
Paying for features you don't need
Bundled licensing forces many customers into broader, more expensive packages than their actual workloads require.
Limited vendor choice & uncertainty
Shrinking partner and support options post-acquisition leave enterprises with less flexibility and less negotiating leverage than before.
Forced subscription lock-in
The shift away from perpetual licenses to mandatory, multi-year subscription terms removes the flexibility to scale down, renegotiate, or exit on your own timeline.
Two ways off VMware — we help you pick the right one
There's no single right answer for every workload. F9 Infotech assesses your environment and recommends the path — or combination — that fits.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS
Lift-and-shift your existing VMware VCF workloads onto NC2 bare-metal infrastructure on AWS — preserving your architecture, tooling, and security controls almost exactly as they are today.
- Fastest path off VMware licensing risk
- No application refactoring required
- Familiar Nutanix Prism management retained
- Built-in path to a Zero-Compute, cyber-resilient DR tier
AWS Native Services
Re-platform workloads directly onto AWS-native infrastructure — Amazon EC2, Amazon EKS, and related services — for teams ready to modernize as part of the exit.
- Full access to the AWS-native ecosystem from day one
- Elastic, consumption-based scaling
- Direct path to containers, serverless, and AI/ML services
- No ongoing Nutanix or VMware licensing dependency
Every migration runs on the F9 ResilientShift Framework
The same proprietary methodology behind F9 Infotech's enterprise migrations — engineered for zero downtime on business-critical workloads.
Zero-Disruption Migration Playbook
A phased, workload-sequenced lift-and-shift methodology that moves production environments with no service interruption, carrying existing security controls forward intact.
Three-Tier, Cyber-Resilient DR
Active production, warm DR replication, and a Zero-Compute hibernated tier — near-zero RPO/RTO without paying for always-on standby compute.
Security-Preserving Governance
PAM, SIEM, firewall, and microsegmentation controls carried into a governed AWS landing zone with IAM best practices and centralized visibility.
Phased Modernization Roadmap
A structured on-ramp from migrated infrastructure to AWS-native services — containers, serverless, and AI/ML — once the exit is complete.
A migration partner who's exited VMware at enterprise scale
F9 Infotech architects are AWS-certified and Nutanix-certified — meaning your migration is designed by people who work in both ecosystems daily, not a generalist team learning NC2 on your project. We've moved 300+ VM, mission-critical estates off VMware with zero downtime, preserved every existing security control through the transition, and stayed engaged past cutover to help clients build toward AWS-native modernization. Unlike a pure migration vendor, F9 Infotech also delivers the resilience, FinOps, and managed operations services your platform needs after the exit — one team, one accountable partner, from assessment through to steady state.
