Gartner’s report, A Guide to Choosing a VMware Alternative in the Wake of Broadcom Acquisition, presents alternative options under both tactical (immediate, short-term solutions) and strategic (long-term solutions) approaches.
- Tactical approaches: VMware with alternative delivery, third-party maintenance, alternative hypervisor replacements, and Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI).
- Strategic approaches: public cloud migration, Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure (DHI), container management, and full-stack infrastructure platforms.
Among these options, HCI is highly rated in aspects such as ease of migration, ISV support, skills applicability, hybrid cloud integration, cloud-native compatibility, and long-term viability, making it a mature solution for VMware replacement. Representative vendors and products include Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform (AECP) and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI).
