The hypervisor world is shifting -- is this the end of the VMware era?
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware late last year created fear and uncertainty among vendors and partners alike. The subsequent overhaul of VMware’s product offering and consumption model have only served to fuel this disquiet.
In parallel with the restructuring and consolidation of VMware’s most popular and prominent product offerings, Broadcom’s takeover has seen VMware transition from a perpetual licensing structure to compulsory subscriptions. As a result, many VMware customers face significant cost increases.
