# The Modernization Choice: Moving Beyond Legacy VMware - From: Nutanix - Type: Event - Length: 8 pages - Language: English - Page: ## About it Know your options. When it comes to modernization, the decision is yours: hold onto legacy infrastructure or move to a modern, open platform. The stakes are high, the clock is ticking, and organizations may benefit from evaluating their options sooner rather than later. The October 2027 end of general support of vSphere 8 has been widely publicized, but the potential impacts may not be well understood. What many assume is part of a just routine contract renewal and upgrade cycle can prove to be a disruptively large overhaul, and may require IT teams to evaluate new operational models, different software deployments, and closed ecosystems. Problematic? You bet. That kind of workflow creates friction, unexpected costs, and operational lock-in. And yet, some organizations may not be aware that they don’t need to stick with forced architectural changes. The truth is that the barrier to modern infrastructure isn’t a contract renewal date; it’s not knowing how to evaluate the real risks of deprecated features and closed vendor toolkits before long-term infrastructure decisions are made. Join us for an exclusive virtual event that explores the reality of infrastructure modernization. You’ll hear from industry thought leaders and Nutanix experts as they analyze the true operational impact of moving to VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) 9 or VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) and map out exactly how you can build a stable, predictable, and flexible alternative. It’s easier than you think. Discover how Nutanix reduces infrastructure friction, keeping it lean and preserving the open ecosystems modern IT leaders demand. Through a fireside-style 1:1 conversation, we’ll tackle key shifts and offer a forward-looking view of where infrastructure is headed. Time is running out, so don’t wait for someone else to decide for you. It’s time to go modern. Ready to see a better way forward? Register now!
