Your VMware Bill Is High? Good. It Means You’re Finally Seeing the Problem

About Event

Everyone complains about rising VMware costs. Almost nobody looks at what’s actually driving them.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: your bill didn’t go up because of licensing—it went up because your environment was never designed to be efficient in the first place.

In this session, we rip through real-world environments and show where costs actually hide: over-provisioned clusters, unused cores, bad workload placement, and zero visibility into what matters. You’ll see how to correlate application behavior with infrastructure consumption and where the biggest waste typically sits.

No theory, no “best practice” slides. Just practical patterns you can apply immediately to stop burning cores and start making smarter decisions.
