Lets talk about platform strategy. Theyre still the Lamborghini.
There are many alternatives for organizations unhappy with the direction that Broadcom is taking the VMware virtualization platform. This enables enterprises to take a more thoughtful and methodical approach to shifting its virtualizationstrategy away from Broadcom. Heres a brief synopsis of each one: 1.
The European Cloud Competition Observatory (ECCO), a monitoring body established by the association of Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe (CISPE) as a way to keep cloud licensing practices fair in the region, this week came down hard on Broadcom for its failure to do so.
But because the popular virtualization platform can be too expensive and pervasive to replace even if they may want to, they may find themselves with a mainframe-type of dilemma. They should also look for exit strategies for other market-dominant IT products they use, given that Broadcom has seen early success with VMware, he says.
The landscape of data center infrastructure is shifting dramatically, influenced by recent licensing changes from Broadcom that are driving up costs and prompting enterprises to reevaluate their virtualizationstrategies. Clients are seeing increased costs with on-premises virtualization with Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware.
The software company is making it virtually impossible for its customers to work with non-SAP process mining solutions. The strategy would incorporate business process analysis, design, and improvement, as well as process change management.

Rather than wait for a storm to hit, IT professionals map out options and build strategies to ensure business continuity. Following Broadcom’s late 2023 acquisition of VMware, numerous changes prompted customers and partners to reassess their strategies.
Computerworld Spain had a chance to sit down with Baguley and talk about VMware’s evolution and its current technology strategy. When I joined VMware, we only had a hypervisor – referring to a single software [instance] that can be used to run multiple virtual machines on a physical one – we didn’t have storage or networking.”
Coming up: VMware Explore Barcelona, Fira Gran Via November 4-7, 2024 VMware Explore 2024 attendees saw an emphasis on private AI and cloud repatriation as key strategies for enterprises. Many organizations continue to adopt hybrid cloud strategies and leverage public cloud services for specific workloads.
A VMware licensing cost increase of 150%. For many VMware customers, the licensing model and price changes were abrupt. Facing backlash from existing customers, Broadcom has attempted to explain the new product and licensing model with a hope that current customers can manage the transition. An increase of 300%.
When tech giant Broadcom acquired virtualization market leader VMware last October, it restructured licensing terms, laid off thousands of employees, and terminated partner agreements with resellers and service providers. VMware customers were understandably concerned. The VMware acquisition has been no different.
The Singapore government is advancing a green data center strategy in response to rising demand for computing resources, driven in large part by resource-hungry AI projects. Virtualization and cloud computing help consolidate workloads and optimize resource utilization, the idea goes. The city state aims to increase its existing 1.4
Cloud-first applications support a manageable OpEx cost model, metered like a utility, as opposed to requiring significant upfront capital investments in infrastructure and software licenses. A cloud-first enterprise applications strategy helps make data more accessible to distributed users and workflows, he says.
