Hypervisor Migration Risks: What to Know Before Planning a Move

Broadcom’s acquisition has every IT leader re-examining their virtualization stack. Per CloudBolt’s February 2026 survey of 302 IT decisionmakers, 86% are actively reducing their VMware footprint, but only 4% have fully completed the move, and over 50% have changed strategy twice or more since the acquisition. That gap between intent and actualization tells a very specific story. Migrating away from VMware isn’t easy and may not lead to the outcomes those leaders were expecting.

Ask Why Before You Walk Away from a VMware Deal

Here is a deal that almost died for the wrong reason. The customer said, “We need Hyper-V.” The partner logged it as a technical requirement, qualified the opportunity out of any VMware conversation, and moved on. Reasonable enough. That is what a stated requirement is supposed to mean. Except it was not technical. When someone finally asked why Hyper-V, the answer had nothing to do with the hypervisor.

The Hidden Costs of On-Prem Infrastructure

One of the more underreported consequences of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom has been its impact on conventional enterprise infrastructure. For years, IT executives could rely on a relatively predictable rhythm of hardware purchases, refresh cycles, and procurement lead times. On-premises infrastructure was never effortless to manage, but its patterns were, at the very least, well-established.

AI Hardware Shortages Are Driving Up IT Costs: What Leaders Should Do Now

If your organisation has felt the sting of higher prices or longer lead times on servers, storage, memory or end-user devices over the past year, you are not imagining it. The AI build-out is reshaping the global hardware market in ways that go well beyond a short-term price spike. The key point for IT and business leaders is this: what began as a temporary shock now looks more like a multi-year supply and pricing cycle.

Recovery Defines Resilience

Most organisations now recognise that a serious cyber incident is likely, but the real question is whether they can keep running when it happens. A major incident can disrupt services, damage revenue, expose governance weaknesses and test customer trust as events unfold. The greatest risk often sits in the gap between recognising that reality and having a recovery plan that works under pressure. That is where financial loss, operational disruption and regulatory scrutiny can quickly escalate.

Organisations Don't Need a Cloud-Native Network to Adopt SASE

In a perfect world, every business would design its network from day one with the need for scalability, connectivity from anywhere and zero-trust security in mind. In the real world, of course, few organisations have this luxury. Most have entrenched technology investments in place, and overhauling them to conform with modern network access and security paradigms isn't always feasible.
