Everyone is talking about VMware licensing changes. Costs have shifted, and the 72-core minimum order requirement for per-core licensing is now in effect across APJ, including Malaysia.

This naturally raises a question many organizations are considering: Is VMware still the right core infrastructure platform?

VMware remains a strong platform where scale, stability, and operational maturity are required. It continues to support enterprise workloads reliably, and for many Malaysian organizations, particularly those with on-premise or hybrid environments, it remains a stable foundation.

What has changed is not its capability, but the commercial entry structure, especially for smaller environments. The focus shifts toward how environments are designed and procured.

As a VMware Premier Partner, TECH3 works with organizations in Malaysia to review VMware environments and align them with current APJ licensing structure:

1. Optimize environment grouping
Smaller environments (branches, projects, or distributed clusters) may benefit from consolidation under a single order structure to reduce impact from minimum thresholds.

2. Align platform strategy with workload criticality
VMware remains well-suited for core systems such as ERP, databases, and stable production workloads where maturity and reliability are key.

Work with a partner who can help you restructure the order. If you're running VMware in Malaysia, it's worth a 30-minute chat.
