Want the VMware software-defined networking experience, without the price-tag?

Want the VMware software-defined networking experience, without the price-tag?

With VMware's transition to bundles in a 100% subscription licensing model, customers are being forced to move to the VMware Cloud Foundation (which includes NSX with Advanced Threat Protection), to keep critical security and monitoring features for full software-defined networking.

But this comes at a huge increase in costs!

Keep customers operational and avoid massive price increases

Move customers to the basic VMware vSphere Foundation License and plug the gaps by refreshing them with HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series, powered by AMD Pensando DPU (Data Processing Unit or processor) to retain critical security and monitoring capabilities.

Whether VMware customers are nearing the end of their current support contracts or 2-3 years away from making this transition, with the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series, they have the opportunity to:

  • Avoid huge increased costs as the new subscription model replaces perpetual licensing
  • Maximize TCO by helping customers avoid paying a premium for being forced to upgrade
  • Users may find that they pay for features included in the VMware Cloud Foundation bundle, that they don't need

With the potential huge cost savings to be made, it's never too early for customers to start planning and take advantage of a more cost-effective alternative.
