Time to act: Partnering with Insight to Optimise Your VxRail and VMware Future
By / 12 Dec 2025 / Topics: Microsoft 365
The infrastructure world is experiencing a significant evolution. While Dell VxRail has long been a foundational component for many organisations, recent industry shifts—including evolving licensing models and Dell's strategic focus on broader Private Cloud offerings—call for a careful and proactive review of your current setup.
As Michael Dell recently stated, "I think the thing you need to look at there is VxRail is no longer a thing," signalling a clear shift away from the legacy HCI model. For organisations running VMware on Dell VxRail, this transition is about moving forward intelligently, ensuring cost efficiency and future flexibility.
The Opportunity: Gaining Clarity in a Changing Landscape
Change in the technology sphere always brings opportunity. Dell Technologies is encouraging customers to explore the Dell Private Cloud, built around powerful, hypervisor-flexible storage solutions like PowerStore and PowerFlex. This shift aims to give you greater control and better positioning for emerging technologies.
However, transitioning a core platform requires expert guidance. The challenge is identifying a path that respects your current investments while unlocking long-term savings and simplicity.
The Solution: Your Strategic Advisory with Insight
This is where Insight excels. As a valued Dell Global Titanium Black Partner, we are perfectly positioned to act as your strategic advisor, guiding you through the options and complexities of this evolution. Our focus is helping you make informed decisions that align technology with your business goals.
Our VxRail Advisory Workshop addresses the core questions facing your team today, offering three clear strategic paths:
Defining Your Future: Remain, Reduce, or Replace?
| Strategic Path | What We Help You Achieve | Insight's Focus On Value |
| Remain | Maintain and Optimise your current VxRail environment. | Cost Management: Finding efficiencies in licensing and operations to make your current stack more sustainable. |
| Reduce | Gradually transition select workloads to a new architecture. | Risk Minimisation: Pilot programmes for adopting alternative hypervisors (e.g., Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV) where it makes the most sense. |
| Replace | Modernise your entire infrastructure to Dell’s hypervisor-flexible Private Cloud. | Investment Maximisation: Leveraging Dell’s new Transition Incentive Programmes to fund your modernisation and reduce TCO. |
