The VMware Exit Readiness Checklist

Forty questions worth answering about your own estate before you sign the renewal or commit to leaving.

Every question is answerable from your side of the table. Five are marked must-have, and they decide readiness on their own, whatever the total score.

It is vendor neutral. It is exactly as useful for deciding to stay as for deciding to leave.

What it covers

Licensing and the real core count
Hardware, drivers and what changes inside each guest
Applications, dependencies and downtime tolerance
Backup, ransomware recovery and a tested rollback
Who does the work, who signs, and by when
A simple score: not ready to negotiate, ready to negotiate, or ready to move
