About the Client 

This multi-site healthcare provider operates across 60 locations nationwide, delivering care that depends on stable, always-available infrastructure. With a large, distributed environment, the organization needed to make critical infrastructure decisions without risking daily operations. Continuity and flexibility were non-negotiable, while deciding on its long-term infrastructure strategy. 

The Challenge 

The organization faced urgent pressure on its VMware environment and limited room to maneuver. Key challenges included: 

• Broadcom compliance requirements: Demanded a fast decision to regain compliant licensing position. 
• Weighing long-term decisions: Deciding whether to stay with VMware or pursue other alternatives. 
• Flexible terms: An inability to find VMware licensing terms shorter than 36 months, was forcing a long commitment before the broader strategy was settled. 
• Maintain continuity: The company couldn’t risk any downtime across its 60 sites, as this would directly impact patient care and operations. 
• Modernization planning: The company needed to align any near-term decision with evolving modernization and migration planning, rather than locking into a path prematurely. 

The Solution 

As an authorized Broadcom Pinnacle Partner, OTAVA worked closely with the organization to deliver a flexible VMware VCF private cloud solution built around its real-world constraints. The engagement focused on: 

• Flexible VMware private cloud solution: Matched the customer’s infrastructure strategy instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all model. 
• VCFaaS Private Cloud Licenses for more than 12,000 VMware cores: Gave the organization a straightforward way to continue running VMware while maintaining Broadcom compliance requirements. 
• Reduced complexity and costs: Leveraged existing customer-owned hardware within the private cloud solution. 
• Responsive, customer-focused engagement: Adapted to shifting requirements and helped set OTAVA apart from other providers. 

The Results 

By partnering with OTAVA, the healthcare provider migrated to a VCF private cloud, regained VMware licensing compliance, and protected operations across its 60 nationwide sites. 

• Quickly regained VMware compliance: OTAVA helped the provider address urgent licensing requirements and return to a compliant position without disrupting daily operations.  
• Flexible terms: A 12-month VCFaaS term covering approximately 12,000 cores replaced the rigid 36-month options the organization could not accept.  
• Protected continuity across 60 sites: The solution kept critical infrastructure stable while leadership evaluated its long-term VMware, modernization, and migration strategy.  
• Maximized existing infrastructure investments: Incorporating customer-owned hardware helped reduce complexity and extend the value of existing assets.  
• Preserved strategic flexibility: The organization gained a bridge solution that kept VMware technology available while leaving long-term options open.  

By combining VCF Private Cloud and licenses with a flexible, customer-focused approach, OTAVA helped the healthcare provider regain compliance, maintain continuity across 60 nationwide sites, and preserve the ability to decide its long-term infrastructure strategy on its own timeline.
