How to Break Free from VMware and Start Fresh with Hyper-V

If VMware’s latest changes have you feeling boxed in—between rising renewal costs, confusing licensing shifts, and tighter support models—you’re not imagining things. The lock-in is real. But the good news? You’ve got options.

Consider this session a real-world download of “notes from the field.” We’ll break down what’s different between VMware and Hyper-V, where people tend to hit bumps in the road, and what to expect when making the switch. Whether you’re just exploring alternatives or already sketching out your exit plan, this is the inside scoop you’ve been looking for.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why now is the time to reconsider your hypervisor
  • What makes Hyper-V a solid choice for your environment
  • What VMware admins need to know to hit the ground running
  • How the pieces of Hyper-V fit together (and what’s different)
  • Common pitfalls to avoid during the switch
  • Insights on how to actually migrate
  • Q&A to tackle your real-world concerns and scenarios

This session is designed to leave you with the clarity and confidence to take your next step—whether that’s starting fresh with Hyper-V or just finally understanding your options. After all, your infrastructure deserves more freedom.
