Understanding the Merger’s Implications
The acquisition of VMware by Broadcom has generated mixed reactions within the industry. While some see it as a potential opportunity for innovation and enhanced offerings, others are concerned about the future direction of VMware’s products and support.
As companies consider their virtualization needs, it’s crucial to stay informed and proactive. Here are some key considerations:
1) Evaluate Current Virtual Estate:
Review existing VMware deployments to assess their performance and efficiency. Identify workloads that may need adjustments based on new pricing models or support structures.

Some of our customers are now considering alternative hypervisors for their non-critical workloads. This shift can help mitigate risks associated with vendor lock-in and provide flexibility in operations.
