In the dark with your VMware licensing spend?
Illuminate your options with Insight.
Broadcom has acquired VMware.
Here’s what your business should do next.
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware towards the end of last year has left many organisations wondering what their next move should be when it comes to their licensing. If you’re in the dark as to why, as a thought leader in the industry Insight is well positioned to shed some light.
What’s happened?
Broadcom has announced a significant simplification of its VMware solutions product portfolio , which aims to
provide more value for customers from businesses of all sizes.

As part of this initiative, all VMware solutions under Broadcom have transitioned to subscription licenses, an end to the perpetual licensing model.
Here are three key considerations
we think you should keep in mind:

The recent changes in
VMware’s licensing model have
pushed many organisations to
explore alternative solutions that
provide them with better ROI. Consider exploring cloud-based solutions, which
offer many benefits, including lower
costs, greater scalability, and increased flexibility. By carefully evaluating your options, you can ensure you are making
the right choices for your business
and maximizing your ROI.
With the introduction of the
per-core licensing scheme, it’s important to evaluate your current usage and determine whether you need to reduce the number of cores you use to avoid additional fees. By analysing your usage patterns, you can identify areas where you can optimize your usage and reduce costs.
VMware has consolidated its offerings by creating bundles, resulting in a reduced number of SKUs. Consider the bundle options available and evaluate whether they align with your business needs and budget.
