Broadcom’s changes to VMware’s software licensing model in December 2023 sent shock waves through many organizations. One change that particularly impacted small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and edge sites was Broadcom ending the availability of the VMware ESXi free edition. This change, among many others, prompted organizations to reevaluate their server virtualization platform of choice.
The recently published 2024-25 DCIG TOP 5 VMware vSphere Alternatives – SMB/Edge Edition report helps organizations identify the best available hypervisor alternatives to VMware vSphere. To further explain the research behind these DCIG TOP 5 recommendations, DCIG will join StorMagic for a live webinar on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at 11 am EDT.

DCIG Principal Analyst, Jerome Wendt, will join StorMagic’s Marketing Manager, James Clarke, for a webinar to share and examine the following:
- The criteria DCIG used to evaluate VMware alternatives.
- Insights that DCIG gleaned into its research into the hypervisors and server virtualization solutions optimized for the SMBs and edge sites.
- DCIG’s insights into how StorMagic SvHCI stands out in categories such as Ease of Migration, Data Protection and Security, Deployment Options, Licensing and Pricing, Management, Software Options, and Technical Support.
