Despite numerous security vulnerabilities and the increasing number of ransomware attacks, many on-premises VMware vSphere environments are still running outdated software versions 6.7, 6.5, or even 6.0. This is despite the fact that a simple and painless migration solution exists.
VMware declared vSphere version 6.0 "end of support" on March 12, 2020. In just a few weeks (October 15, 2022), versions 6.7 and 6.5 will also reach their end of support. This puts many companies under pressure, as they risk being stuck on unsupported versions. What many don't yet know is that there's a simple solution.
The pitfalls of an update
The actual update to a newer version itself is usually straightforward. The real challenges lie in the dependencies on third-party vendors, drivers, or other integrations. In older environments, the hardware on which vSphere is installed has often reached the end of its lifecycle. Therefore, simple upgrades frequently turn into large, time-consuming, and tedious projects.
Additionally, such upgrades are difficult to plan for, as companies prefer to focus their resources on their core business and value creation rather than worrying about hardware replacement and VMware upgrades.
