Our 5 year ELA for VMware went from 1.5M USD to 12M USD. I work in Higher ed.
Our Hyper-V environment came online a few months ago. It was already included with our ELA with Microsoft so we were able to splash out a bit for some higher tier support.
Granted, we have a separate team working on "genAI stuff."
We started converting virtual machines about 3 weeks ago and we've gotten through ~500 of about 3500 or so.
Our grant based HPC environment is just moving back to bare metal. The VM conversion is just for ad-hoc HPC and then all of our general infrastructure. Some of our larger application servers (SAP Hana) are possibly staying on VMWare if SAP won't support them on Hyper-V.
This summer sucked big time but we'll make it.
