Customer workload migration issues
Customers biggest challenges when migrating workloads to the cloud.
“Application dependencies” is the main challenge for companies and small and medium-sized enterprises.
- This suggests that regardless of company size, understanding the interdependencies between applications remains a primary barrier to migration.
- Enterprises may face this problem at a larger scale due to more complex systems, compared to SMBs who struggle with visibility into smaller but often less documented environments.
Enterprises in the ranking “Cost assessment” 2nd, while for SMEs it is 3rd.
- Enterprises are more focused on evaluating cloud ROI due to their larger investments and greater scale of cloud adoption.
- SMEs, while cost conscious, appear to prioritize immediate feasibility over cost comparisons as they often operate on leaner budgets.
“Assessment of technical feasibility“For enterprises, this challenge is in 3rd place, while for SMEs it moves to 2nd place.
- SMEs appear to emphasize technical feasibility more than cost, as they may lack the in-house expertise or resources to support migration.
- Businesses with more robust IT teams are likely to feel more confident about the technical aspects, although this still remains a significant challenge.
This overview shows the importance of tailor-made solutions to satisfy your customers’ market. Whether you’re targeting enterprise customers, focusing on cost optimization strategies and dependency mapping tools is key for SMBs and providing technical guidance, support and streamlined processes to ease their migration journey.

Reacting to key events: Triggers to move workloads to the VMware Cloud Foundation partner cloud
Customers are increasingly driven to adopt a VCF partner cloud to address critical, time-sensitive needs while unlocking long-term benefits such as greater flexibility, resilience and operational efficiency. Our GTM suite helps partners communicate these key triggers and addresses how migrating to a VCF partner cloud can solve many of these customer issues. Key triggers include:
- Budget constraints: IT departments face constant pressure to do more with less, balancing shrinking budgets with growing demands, increasing complexity and growing volumes of data. Cloud adoption helps optimize costs while maintaining performance.
- Data center consolidation: Consolidation or evacuation of data centers, whether driven by the need to reduce physical footprint and capital expenditure or expiring contracts, presents an ideal opportunity to migrate workloads to a partner cloud.
- Aging infrastructure: Managing aging local infrastructure is often in direct competition with the cost of upgrading – both straining budgets. Moving to a partner cloud eliminates these issues while ensuring a modern, scalable VCF infrastructure.
- Mergers and acquisitions: Integrating new systems, users and data from more often requires a scalable, unified cloud platform to ensure seamless operations and accelerate post-merger integration.
- Downtime and breakdowns: Whether caused by natural disasters, technical failures or cyber threats, unplanned outages highlight the need for a resilient cloud infrastructure that ensures business continuity, rapid recovery and risk minimization.
By leveraging VCF’s partner cloud, businesses can turn these triggers into opportunities – solving immediate challenges while building a foundation for future growth, innovation and resilience.
