VMware by Broadcom Update 2026 – Innovations, challenges and the future with VCF.

The VMware world is undergoing change. Following profound changes in the market environment, companies are facing new strategic, technical and licensing challenges. This presentation provides a concise overview of current developments in the VMware portfolio, highlights key innovations and shows how these affect operations, architecture and costs. There is a particular focus on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) as a strategic platform for the modern data centre. What does the shift to VCF mean? What advantages does the integrated full-stack approach offer? How can Bechtle support you in this environment, not only in terms of consulting but also in implementation?

Speaker:

Anne-Cathrin Wedler, with Bechtle for 14 years, sales consultant in the virtualisation business area for 6 years – focus on VMware by Broadcom.

Migration as an opportunity: Modernise with Nutanix – Discover how hypervisor migrations create cost advantages and simplify IT operations.

Changing hypervisors can be much more than a necessary step – it offers an opportunity to modernise your IT landscape in a targeted manner. Using specific customer projects, we show how organisations have used migration as an opportunity to simplify their infrastructure and make it more stable in the long term. The presentation provides a clear overview of the Nutanix portfolio as well as proven migration paths and modernisation options that have proven successful for our customers.

Huawei – Regain control of your data centre! Vmware Alternative for your data centre! With the Huawei DCS virtualisation solution, you are well equipped for the future and your data centre renewal.

Open source meets commerce! The Huawei Virtualisation-Suite DCS is based on the open source hypervisor KVM and has been commercially available worldwide for over 10 years. It forms the basis for Huawei's MultiCloud Datacenter portfolio. Your current infrastructure no longer meets your requirements and costs are spiralling out of control... No problem! DCS is the perfect, cost-effective alternative to VMware, for example. With the integrated Migration Director, automated migration of VMs is a breeze. Want to continue operating parts of your server and storage infrastructure? No problem... DCS supports many third-party manufacturers. From operating bi-modal IT of VMs & containers to integrated cluster file systems for 3-tier SAN infrastructures to Huawei HCI architectures. With multi-vendor hypervisor operations management and integration of anti-ransomware features, DCS leaves nothing to be desired.

Microsoft Hyper-V - it's time to dispel the preconceptions

Microsoft Hyper-V has been an established hypervisor in the enterprise environment for many years and has undergone continuous development.
Today, it is one of the most widely used virtualisation solutions and an integral part of many modern IT infrastructures.
We look at typical use cases, existing strengths and integration options in existing environments, and show why many companies are already successfully using Hyper-V today.
Find out why Hyper-V can be a powerful and economical alternative to VMware for many companies.
