Customer Workload Migration Challenges
Customers’ biggest challenges are migrating workloads to the cloud.
“Application dependencies” is the biggest challenge for both enterprises and small and medium-sized businesses.
- This means that regardless of company size, understanding the interdependencies between applications remains a major obstacle to migration.
- Enterprises may face this issue on a larger scale because their systems are more complex, while small to medium-sized businesses may struggle with visibility issues in smaller, less documented environments.
Company Ranking “cost assessment” 2nd place, and 3rd place for small and medium-sized businesses.
- Enterprises are placing greater emphasis on assessing cloud ROI as they consider larger investments and higher scale cloud adoption.
- Small and medium-sized businesses, while cost-sensitive, often operate on tight budgets and seem to prioritize immediate feasibility over cost comparison.
“Technical feasibility assessment” For enterprises, this challenge ranks third, while for small and medium-sized businesses it rises to second place.
- Small and medium-sized enterprises appear to place more emphasis on technical feasibility than cost, as they may lack internal expertise or resources to support migration.
- Companies with stronger IT teams are likely to be more confident about the technical aspects, although this remains a notable challenge.
This insight demonstrates the importance of custom solutions to meet your market. When targeting enterprise customers, a focus on cost optimization strategies and dependency mapping tools are key for SMBs, while providing technical guidance, support, and simplified processes makes the migration journey easier. GTM kits allow for all scenarios, allowing them to be tailored to specific markets and customer types.
Respond to key events: Triggers to move workloads to VMware Cloud Foundation partner clouds
More and more customers are adopting partner VCF clouds to address their critical, time-sensitive needs while leveraging long-term benefits such as greater flexibility, resiliency, and operational efficiency. Our GTM kit helps partners deliver on these key triggers and explains how migrating to a partner VCF cloud can solve many of these customer challenges. The main triggers are:
- Budget Constraints: IT departments face constant pressure to do more with less while balancing shrinking budgets with increasing demand, complexity, and data volumes. Cloud adoption helps optimize costs while maintaining performance.
- Data Center Consolidation: Consolidating or withdrawing data centers due to the need to reduce physical space and capital costs or due to expiring contracts presents an ideal opportunity to shift workloads to partner clouds.
- Aging Infrastructure: Managing aging on-premises infrastructure is often in direct competition with the cost of upgrades. Both are a strain on your budget. Moving to a partner cloud can help you address these challenges while ensuring a modern, scalable VCF infrastructure.
- Mergers and Acquisitions: Integrating new systems, users, and data from multiple locations often requires a scalable, unified cloud platform to ensure smooth operations and accelerate post-merger integration.
- Downtime and Interruptions: Unplanned downtime caused by natural disasters, technical failures, or cyber threats highlights the need for a resilient cloud infrastructure that ensures business continuity, rapid recovery, and minimal risk.
By leveraging VCF Partner Cloud, businesses can turn these triggers into opportunities to address immediate challenges while building a foundation for future growth, innovation, and resilience.
