The countdown is on. VMware will officially end support for vSphere 7.x on October 15, 2025 — and if you operate in the public sector, now is the time to prepare. From compliance risks to operational setbacks, delaying this upgrade could create unnecessary challenges for your agency or institution.
Why the End of Support Matters
When support ends, so do essential updates — including security patches, bug fixes, and technical assistance. For government, education, and public service organizations, the stakes are even higher:
- Cybersecurity vulnerabilities that increase exposure to threats
- Compliance risks with federal, state, or grant-mandated regulations
- Operational downtime that impacts public services and internal productivity
The recent licensing changes under Broadcom have added complexity to the equation, requiring careful planning to avoid overspending or misalignment with your mission-critical workloads.
How Public Institutions Can Prepare
Rather than wait for support to expire, now is the time to create a smart, phased upgrade plan that minimizes risk and aligns with your long-term IT goals. Whether you’re staying on-prem, exploring hybrid cloud, or reassessing infrastructure altogether — a proactive approach is critical.
