What happens when the tech you’ve relied on for years suddenly becomes the thing holding you back?
For many businesses and service providers, that’s the uncomfortable reality with VMware today. Between rising costs, licensing headaches, and the constant push toward proprietary tools, what once felt like the gold standard is starting to feel more like a trap.
