Organizations across every sector are relying heavily on their virtual environments — and the pressure on VMware infrastructures has never been higher. With vSphere 7 reaching end-of-support, shifting licensing requirements, and growing questions around compatibility, many IT teams are finding themselves unsure of what comes next.
Even small misconfigurations or outdated components inside vSphere can trigger major outages, compliance concerns, or unexpected upgrade costs. That’s why VMware health checks and readiness assessments have become essential for staying secure, stable, and prepared for what’s ahead.
To help teams get ahead of these challenges, Weaver is rolling out a limited-time, discounted VMware 5-Hour Readiness Assessment — a fast, affordable way to get clarity before committing to any upgrades.
Why VMware Health Checks Matter Right Now
vSphere 7 Is Approaching End-of-Support
Many organizations are still running vSphere 7, but support is winding down fast. Once support ends, you’re exposed to:
-
No new security patches
-
No bug fixes
-
No support for new hardware
-
Increased audit and compliance risk
Running unsupported hypervisors isn’t just risky — it can violate cyber insurance, industry regulations, and internal security policies.
Licensing Is Changing
VMware’s move toward subscription licensing is creating uncertainty around:
-
What licenses customers actually need
-
Pricing impacts for future years
-
How Horizon, replication tools, and backup platforms fit into the new model
-
What changes affect current hardware and workloads
Customers need clarity before upgrading — not surprises afterward.
Compatibility Questions Are Everywhere
Before upgrading, organizations must confirm:
-
Horizon support
-
Backup and replication compatibility
-
Storage/HBA/driver readiness
-
Hardware lifecycle constraints
-
Network and cluster configuration health
Skipping this step leads to failed upgrades, outages, and unplanned expenses.
A structured readiness assessment eliminates these risks.
