Regions: 18 Countries
Workloads: 800+ Operational, IoT, and Enterprise Applications
Scope: VMware Renewal, Workload Mapping, AI/Analytics Enablement
A global utility provider faced a 9X increase in VMware renewal costs under Broadcom’s new licensing model, compounded by fragmented environments and inconsistent data pipelines across regions.
Operational systems lacked scalability, and predictive maintenance and IoT telemetry workloads were bottlenecked by infrastructure limitations — creating a perfect storm of cost escalation and performance risk that prompted LogiCloudiQ’s engagement.
Leveraging LogiCloudiQ’s Renew framework, securing a $215 per-core VCF rate with built-in flexibility. The agreement included progressive core burn-downs over a 36-month term and enhanced support and environment management, delivering sustained cost efficiency and operational stability.
Using the AWII framework, our engineers mapped all 800 workloads, correlating performance data with sustainability targets.
The assessment included IoT sensor data pipelines, real-time grid analytics, and forecasting systems.
With this intelligence, we designed a tiered hybrid model:
LogiCloudiQ eliminated Broadcom direct from the VMware renewal process and integrated a managed VCSP license — reducing administrative overhead for the infrastructure team and cutting VMware renewal costs by 45%. This modernization initiative also established a clear 36–60 month roadmap for business continuity across their virtualization and data layers.
KPI | Outcome | Impact |
💰 Renewal Optimization | 52% lower than standard Resell Renewal | Reduced OpEx |
🌐 Workload Visibility | 100% mapping via AWI | Global governance |
⚙️ Operational Efficiency | 28% reduction in duplication | Streamlined cost structure |
🧠 AI Enablement | Hybrid architecture for predictive maintenance | Future-proof foundation |
Through LogiCloudiQ’s strategy, the global utility achieved a 62% total cost reduction across its VMware environment, eliminating renewal volatility and restoring budget predictability.
The optimized hybrid architecture enhanced system scalability and uptime, enabled real-time analytics and maintenance, and provided a sovereign, future-ready foundation to support long-term digital and sustainability initiatives.
