Rethinking VMware? Manage whatever comes next.
Whether you stay on VMware, migrate to another platform, or build a hybrid environment, CloudBolt helps you automate and govern infrastructure across platforms without vendor lock-in.
Ready to move away from VMware?
Your VMware decision is just the beginning
Wherever your infrastructure goes next, your teams still need a consistent way to provision resources, enforce governance, and operate at scale.
Stay on VMware
Continue running VMware where it makes sense while improving self-service, governance, automation, and operational consistency.
Move beyond VMware
Transition workloads to new infrastructure without forcing your teams to reinvent how infrastructure is requested, provisioned, and managed.
Build a hybrid environment
Manage infrastructure across VMware, public cloud, private cloud, and alternative virtualization platforms through a consistent operating model.
VMware is changing. Your operating model doesn’t have to.
Organizations evaluating their VMware strategy are dealing with more than a licensing decision.
- Rising costs, changing terms, and reduced flexibility are pushing teams to reconsider platforms they’ve relied on for years.
-
More platforms can mean more tools, more workflows, and more ways for governance to slip.
-
The organizations that come out ahead give teams real infrastructure choice without losing control.
Change the infrastructure. Keep the experience consistent.
CloudBolt creates an abstraction and orchestration layer across your infrastructure so teams don’t have to build a completely different operating model for every platform.
Underneath, whatever mix of VMware, AWS, Azure, private cloud, or alternative virtualization you’re running connects through a single control plane. On top, your teams keep the same self-service provisioning, reusable blueprints, governance and guardrails, role-based access, day-2 operations, and automation — no matter what’s changing beneath them.
How CloudBolt works
Modernize infrastructure without starting over
CloudBolt helps you separate the infrastructure your workloads run on from the processes your teams use to manage it.
Standardize provisioning
Give teams a consistent way to request and provision infrastructure across different environments.
Automate across platforms
Build reusable workflows and blueprints instead of recreating automation for every infrastructure platform.
Maintain governance
Apply policies, permissions, approvals, and guardrails across your hybrid environment.
Preserve flexibility
Adopt new infrastructure platforms over time without locking your operating model into any single vendor.
“What we got in return from CloudBolt unlocked way more than we ever expected.”

How 300+ It professionals are getting ahead of the Broadcom squeeze
Broadcom isn’t losing sleep over your churn; they planned for exactly this. Their strategy was never to keep every customer. It was to maximize value from those still on the platform while the market slowly diversifies.
This report examines where 300+ IT decision-makers stand two years into the Broadcom era—what they expected, what actually happened, and what they’re doing about it.
Your infrastructure strategy shouldn’t depend on one vendor.

Navigating the VMware Acquisition: A Pragmatic Approach to Migration in the Broadcom Era
Introduction: I received a text from a former colleague and friend out of the blue today that read “I guess VMware is officially dead now that they’re just part of the Broadcom portfolio”. I had already started to write this article, but his sentiments really hit home with what I was feeling throughout the process […]
