Now Is The Time to Make the Switch from VMware to Azure Stack HCI

Image
Reliability & Ease of Use
VMware is complex and painful to manage
Users report spending upwards of 16 hours a week on average managing and patching VMware solutions. That’s in addition to an average of 28 hours of downtime annually. Azure Stack HCI is familiar for Hyper-V and server admins, allowing them to leverage existing virtualization and storage concepts and skills. It works with existing data center processes and tools such as Microsoft System Center, Active Directory, Group Policy and PowerShell scripting. Most companies already use Windows Server so less training is needed.
Image
Cost
VMware is expensive, with extremely complicated pricing
Customers are reporting that VMware is currently raising pricing by 4x. In addition, VMware HCI functionality is covered by many different products and extremely complicated pricing: nine pricing tiers for vSAN, three for NSX, three for vCenter Server, and five for vSphere. Additionally, many VMware customers say they are overpaying for many features they don’t actually need.
Azure Stack HCI’s pricing is simply $10/physical core/month. And if you already have a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Software Assurance, Azure Stack HCI is included at no extra cost!
Image
Workloads
VMware doesn’t have native cloud integration
95% of Fortune 500 companies use Azure, which natively integrates with Azure Stack HCI. VMware relies on Azure, Google, and AWS for cloud services which adds complexity and may require additional technical training.Microsoft owns the whole software stack from the kernel to the hypervisor to the operating system. VMware doesn’t have native cloud integration.
Azure Stack HCI allows you to take advantage of cloud and on-premises resources working together and natively monitor, secure, and back up to the cloud.
Image
Performance
Azure Stack HCI outperforms VMware by 4x
Independent performance testing on the same hardware by StorageReview.com indicates that VMware vSAN maxes out at 521K IOPS, while Azure Stack HCI achieves more than 2M IOPS.
Image
Security
VMware security is complex and has crucial holes
VMware encryption is fragmented and missing important features. The KMS server requirement is a blocker to adopt VM encryption. VMware lacks shielded VMs and support for virtualization-based security.
Image
Corporate Stability
VMware corporate changes are coming
Broadcom’s stated strategy is to focus on 600 out of their 30,000 customers who will struggle to change suppliers. This means the overwhelming majority of VMware customers will be ignored. From one analyst: “I do expect price increases.”
