    Here is a summary of the 2 key IBM Cloud for VMware updates and enhancements:
    • New Client specials valid till Dec 31, 2025: Get up to 20% of migration cloud credit based on value of workloads moving to IBM Cloud for VMware1 and try VCF as a Service with USD 1000 credit.
    • Bridge2Cloud program, available for select accounts, is designed to support on-premises subscriptions for accounts with a defined timeline for migration to IBM Cloud.

    As enterprises look to embrace hybrid cloud and AI to deliver agility and drive change securely, recent changes in packaging and pricing for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) are making them reassess how they can most efficiently use VMware in the future in a less complex and more cost-effective way.

    With many mission-critical workloads spread out across on-premises and cloud, this can present hurdles around where data lives, how it's accessed and the necessary security and governance to ensure trust, particularly when using gen AI. For organizations looking to develop their workload placement strategies, especially for their critical virtualized mid- and back-office workloads, it's important to find fit-for-purpose management options no matter where they are in their journeys to meet future opportunities and drive outcomes.
