Manage and Optimize Costs for VMware-Based Public and Private Clouds
Enterprises have been using VMware virtualization technology to form their public and/or private cloud infrastructures. The challenges they face range from skyrocketing subscription fees to lack of usage-based billing solutions. We elaborate more below.
Key Challenges in VMware Cost Management
Is your organization struggling with VMware-related cloud financial management?
For VMware-Based Public Cloud Hosting:
- Lack of Usage-Based Billing Solutions: Difficulty in implementing pay-as-you-go models due to VMware’s limitations.
- End-Customer FinOps Requirements: Your cloud customers need FinOps solutions for better cost observability, optimization, and governance.
For VMware-Based Private Cloud Hosting:
- High VMware Licensing Costs: The Broadcom acquisition has significantly increased VMware licensing costs, forcing businesses to find ways to optimize their spending.
- Limited ESX Server Utilization Visibility: Inadequate insights into ESX server usage lead to over-licensing and unnecessary costs.
- Inefficient Resource Optimization: Over-provisioned and idle virtual resources result in wasted VMware capacity, escalating operational expenses.
