What is Broadcom doing with VMware?
Broadcom acquired VMware in November 2023, and the acquisition has resulted in several significant changes. Broadcom has shifted VMware's focus to its VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) offering, which consolidates VMware's products into a bundled, subscription-based model. This includes discontinuing perpetual licensing for most VMware software and focusing on subscription bundles, which many organizations have found disruptive to both infrastructure and workload automation.
