ISG to Release Comprehensive Report on VMware Ecosystem Providers

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ report will assess providers empowering enterprise VMware modernization and transformation journeys

Information Services Group (ISG) III, a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has initiated a research study to evaluate the capabilities and market position of service providers within the rapidly evolving VMware ecosystem.

Key Findings to Be Released in September 2025

The comprehensive study will culminate in an ISG Provider Lens™ report titled VMware Ecosystem, expected to be published in September 2025. This report will highlight numerous VMware partners that provide services in areas such as infrastructure modernization, application development and integration, platform optimization, and management.

Practical Insights for Enterprise Buyers

Enterprise buyers can leverage insights from the report to assess their existing vendor relationships and explore new engagement opportunities. Additionally, ISG advisors will utilize the study’s findings to recommend suitable providers to their clients.

Market Trends Impacting VMware Ecosystem

Various trends, including the increasing importance of hyperscalers, the widespread adoption of containerization and DevOps practices, and the rising demand for Kubernetes management, are reshaping enterprise IT. VMware has responded to these shifts by introducing solutions like VMware Cloud on AWS and the Tanzu platform for Kubernetes.

“VMware partners are adapting to changes in VMware’s platform,” stated Aman Munglani, director and principal analyst at ISG Provider Lens Research. “Today, partners provide services spanning infrastructure modernization, application development and integration, platform optimization, as well as governance and management.”

Surveying Providers to Identify Market Leaders

ISG has sent surveys to over 60 providers serving the VMware ecosystem. Collaborating with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will compile three key quadrants that represent the main VMware platform services typically purchased by enterprises based on ISG’s extensive client experience:

• Build and Modernize IT Foundations, featuring VMware providers that assist organizations in building and modernizing their IT infrastructure. These services support effective utilization of virtualization and hyperconverged infrastructure for hybrid cloud adoption and expedite cloud migration initiatives.

• Optimize and Secure Operations, which evaluates providers that help enterprises enhance and secure their multicloud environments. This includes services such as network security, endpoint security, threat detection, identity-based access, and cloud security automation.

• Innovate and Scale Applications, analyzing ecosystem providers that aid organizations in modernizing and optimizing applications to drive business transformation. Key aspects in this area involve infrastructure, tools, and strategies for application management, along with AI integration and automation.

Global Insights and Participation Opportunities

The report will also feature geographically focused analyses of the global VMware services market and review available products and services worldwide. ISG analyst Michael Barnes will serve as the lead author of this report.

More details about the identified providers and vendors can be found in a digital brochure. Additionally, companies that are not currently recognized as VMware ecosystem providers can reach out to ISG for consideration in the study.

Enhancing Customer Experience Through Feedback

All evaluations in the 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ series include expanded customer experience (CX) data that reflects actual enterprise experiences with specific providers. ISG encourages enterprise customers to share feedback through an online survey, with participants receiving a copy of the report as a reward for their input.
