Case Study: a leading U.K. bank maintains VMware support during cloud migration with Origina

Leading U.K. Bank maintains support for 600+ VMware hosts with Origina

A leading U.K. bank faced a critical challenge when Broadcom, following its acquisition of VMware, declined to provide extended support for its 600 vSphere 6.5 hosts. This left the bank's infrastructure vulnerable during a multi-year cloud migration, as the only OEM option was a costly and disruptive upgrade. The bank, in partnership with its managed service provider, needed an alternative support solution to maintain stability. Origina was identified as the vendor to address this need.

Origina provided independent, proactive support for the bank's VMware environment, collaborating with the channel partner to deliver L3 expertise and security advisories. This partnership allowed the bank to maintain support, maximize the life of its current systems, and continue its cloud migration on its own timeline. The results included a significant reduction in vendor-driven costs, less downtime, and enhanced security. Origina empowered the bank to modernize efficiently while optimizing its existing infrastructure.
