What to know about Broadcom's acquisition of VMware

The acquisition of VMware by Broadcom has led to significant changes in VMware's licensing model, shifting from perpetual licenses to a subscription-based approach.

This white paper examines the details, implications, and recommendations for VMware customers, including:

Broadcom has eliminated VMware's perpetual licenses, requiring a transition to subscription pricing with a 50%+ price cut incentive but no perpetual support renewals
VMware's product portfolio is now streamlined to 4 core offerings, with several legacy products discontinued or available as add-ons
The new "license per core" pricing model, with a minimum of 16 cores, has cost implications

Additionally, the paper outlines 6 key impacts, including increased support costs, quality concerns, stricter licensing, potential loss of innovation, disruption to the partner ecosystem, and risks to the Horizon product line.
