VMware and Broadcom: Uncharted IT

Navigating the New Horizon: VMware’s Acquisition by Broadcom

The recent acquisition of VMware by Broadcom has sent ripples through the tech community, raising questions about the future of support, pricing, and licensing for VMware’s customers. While change is inevitable in such transitions, it’s crucial to understand the landscape and what lies ahead.

Support & Service Continuity

Firstly, it’s important to know that service and support will continue, albeit with some adjustments. Broadcom’s acquisition brings a wealth of resources and the potential for enhanced support services. However, customers may experience changes in their support structure as the integration progresses.

Transparent Pricing Adjustments

Pricing structures are expected to evolve. Most IT decision-makers anticipate a price increase for VMware products under Broadcom’s stewardship. While this may concern some, it’s an opportunity to reassess and optimize IT budgets and strategies.

Licensing Model Shifts

Broadcom introduced a significant change in the shift from perpetual licenses to a subscription-based model. This aligns with industry trends towards SaaS models, offering clients a predictable expense and continuous updates without large upfront investments.
