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.

You have more options than you realizeWith 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.
