In November 2023, Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware. Several changes for VMware were published, namely the end of perpetual licensing in favor of a per core subscription-based pricing model, a move which has left VMware customers and partners eager to understand Broadcom’s strategy for the virtualization pioneer.
The shift to an invitation-only Broadcom Advantage Partner Program, the advent of perpetual licensing for subscription-based pricing, and dramatic portfolio simplification have caused concerns for customers and partners alike.
In her video presentation, Laura Richardson, VSO’s Chief Technology Officer, dives into VSO’s research surrounding the acquisition and its implications for customers.
VSO works for customers’ outcomes through solutions that best meet each business’ needs, including VMware on-premises and in cloud, alternative hypervisors, and modernized container-based solutions.
