Rethinking Infrastructure Modernization in a Shifting VMware Landscape
Sep 22, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST
This executive roundtable brings together public sector IT leaders to discuss strategic approaches to infrastructure modernization in light of evolving VMware licensing models. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Options range from lift-and-shift migrations and hyperconverged alternatives to container platforms and cloud-native architectures, and attendees will weigh which fit their environment. They will also hear from peers navigating similar decisions about what is working, what is not, and how to build a phased strategy suited to their organization's mission, risk tolerance, and timeline.
BWG Connect, Insight Public Sector & AWS invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.
As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.
