Empowered by Rimini Street, Lwart drives its own VMware roadmap

“We’ve found a partner we trust to keep our core systems running while we focus on where the business needs to go next.”

– Jefferson Andriotti, Head of IT and Procurement
Lwart Environmental Solutions

Take control without compromise

Broadcom is ending support for VMware perpetual licenses by October 2027 and pushing customers toward VCF — driving 3x–15x higher costs and less flexibility. But VMware users still own their licenses and have options.

With expert third-party support and advanced security for VMware from Rimini Street, you can extend the life of your existing environment, cut support costs by up to 50% or more and maximize ROI.

Be empowered to make decisions that work for your budget, timeline and goals.

Maintain stability

Maintain stability

Preserve performance, security and uptime of VMware systems with expert support and advanced runtime protection — no disruptive replatforming required.
Reduce costs

Reduce costs

Avoid rising subscription fees, bundled pricing and unnecessary hardware investments — while cutting support costs and redirecting savings to innovation.
Retain optionality

Retain optionality

Stay in control of your roadmap with the flexibility to modernize on your terms, such as moving to an alternative hypervisor when the time is right.

“We confidently recommend Rimini Street to peers who want quality support for critical systems and deep value that continues to grow over the years.”

You have more options than you realize

With Rimini Street, you can:

Keep your perpetual VMware licenses

Broadcom is pushing customers toward VCF, but the move isn’t required. You still own your perpetual license and can continue running your existing environment with third-party support and security for VMware.

Avoid expensive moves and rising costs

Third-party support for VMware helps you avoid expensive migrations, subscription bundles and new hardware investments. With it, you can cut annual support fees and get the predictability of ongoing expenses, not price increases.

Choose a proven third-party support provider

Not all third-party support providers offer the same expertise or scale. Look for public references, guaranteed SLAs and resolution times, as well as the availability of global talent and proactive security solutions.

Stay protected with proactive hypervisor security

Rimini Support™ for VMware includes industry-exclusive, zero-day, proactive runtime protection and automated file remediation across VMware and other Linux-based hypervisors — without patching, OS or vendor code changes.
