Industry: Financial Services (Enterprise Scale)
Workloads: 550+ Workloads & Applications
Scope: VMware Renewal, Workload Modernization, & hyperscaler journey
Regional bank was preparing for a hyperscaler migration, but a critical issue emerged — legacy workloads were neither cloud-ready nor fully understood.
Years of organic growth had created hidden dependencies and undocumented application relationships, making migration risky and costly.
When combined with Broadcom’s VMware pricing overhaul and an 8X renewal increase, leadership realized they needed to pause, assess, and modernize intelligently before taking the next step toward cloud and AI infrastructure readiness.
LogiCloudiQ began by securing the lowest per-core renewal cost available through our arbitrage method, restoring pricing leverage and flexibility.
This approach mirrored other large-scale engagements, where renewal control becomes the foundation for transformation.
We deployed Application & Workload Intelligence (AWI) framework to map all 550+ workloads — The AWI Framework delivered full visibility into applications, workloads, and dependencies—revealing hidden relationships and readiness gaps that drive migration risk. It models cost, maps interdependencies, and scores cloud readiness to guide intelligent modernization decisions.
Using AWI workloads were aligned to optimal landing zones:
KPI | Outcome | Impact |
💰 Cost Reduction | 48% below Broadcom direct renewal | Immediate financial relief |
🔍 Workload Visibility | 100% mapped via AWI | Strategic modernization roadmap |
⚙️ Operational Efficiency | 20% lower infrastructure overhead | Streamlined management |
🧠 AI Readiness | Infrastructure ready for ML & data workloads | Positioned for 5-year growth |
By executing the Renew → Assess → Mitigate strategy, the client transformed a renewal crisis into a modernization opportunity — gaining control of the renewal, thoroughly understanding their environment, augmenting their team with fellow experts to assist in the transformation.
The result was a flexible, cost-effective, and AI-ready hybrid infrastructure built for the next decade of digital growth.
Where Workloads Decide — Not Vendors.
