The analyst firms latest Magic Quadrant for DHI – aka hybrid clouds – has the chasing pack facing problems too: with maturity, cost, and complex licences.
That’s the view of a senior principal analyst at Gartner, who says making the move is unlikely to result in any significant return on investment; and may actually end up costing more.
VMware have argued that users should not expect to be able to use VDDK, and that migrations is an unlicensed use case for the tool.
The German optics maker joins a long list of companies whose S/4HANA migrations have blown past their budget.
The move forms part of a wider infrastructure upgrade project, but the Premier League club’s CTO says the decision wasn’t purely financial.
Skills shortages are hitting SAP shops doubly hard: with S/4HANA migration in full throttle, valuable knowledge is being lost to retirement.
As of October 31st, new AVS environments won’t include the necessary VMware licenses. Existing customers have until August 2027 to transition.
The question is no longer just which version to upgrade to; it is whether a vendor-driven platform shift aligns with the outcomes trying to be achieved.
