- Hey, everyone! đ Have you been scratching your head at the multitude of CZcams videos offering solutions to VMware's recent changes? I feel you! In today's video, I address the seismic shifts happening since Broadcom acquired VMware. We're talking about sweeping changes in licensing, the demise of the free version, and the restructuring of the entire company.
đŒ As someone who's been knee-deep in strategy meetings and architectural endeavors, I've noticed a trend of impractical solutions being thrown around. Today, I want to talk straight about the reality of the situation. Broadcom's move to a subscription-based model has many in the IT world on edge, from aspiring VMware professionals to enterprises facing potential cost spikes.

There are a plenty of small to medium sized companies running proxmox(and others). It's fine for small clusters. It's definitely good enough for internal coporate use.
they still should have kept a free sass tier to help funnel in new users. anyone using 2 hosts isn't going to lose them a customer anyway.
Thank you, Eli! Love and appreciate the honesty and transparency of this video. I 100% agree with you. There is not a solid alternative just yet. Moving to other platform will take a lot of time, planning and designing. That means that for a while enterprises will still have to run hybrid clouds that involve several platforms. But, unless VMWare by Broadcom will significantly improve VCF as platform and make it more valuable and feasible considering its price, companies will move on. Again, thank you for another great video and insightful thoughts!
Thank you for providing an enterprise oriented response!!
Well articulation and explained. I have same view, VMware vShpare is another MS Office of Enterprise. No matter how much you are in disagreement but finally you will pay and use :)
Thanks fofr this lovely session. Migrating to cloud was kinda old topic if that is what you mentionin, but AI is definitely new. So its a mixed bag, need to introspect from an Architect perspective.
Also for AI which one do you suggest? I've seen Azure AI lately, and what's your input?
Very helpful content and nicely presented. Thank you
Well have been a VMware person and architect lots of customers for the lb part this Broadcom is crap. And I think there are solutions depending on what you need 1-1 comparison may not be possible. There are way lots of things to consider moving forward and away from VMware. Microsoft for hyperv will be my last option again thatâs my take.
I was excited to hear YOUR perspective on this out of everyone. Thank you for sharing.
I have been doing enterprise IT infrastructure consulting since the 70s. I have a few midsize companies as well as my enterprise clients. I have been using VMWare since version 2. I believe as you say that Broadcom will push clients to look for the future that will long term hurt thier business. I will be migrating to cloud services wherever it makes sense. Smaller clients will slowly move to cloud and VMware competitors. As AI and cloud drives more and more VMWare clients away over time
I've been doing it since the 80s I remember a time before ESXi. I completely agree with you.
Legit and balanced video! Nice job man!
SMB can walk away from VMware.

If any current VMware Cloud Providers are short of 3500 cores and want to report their cores under a VMware white list provider - feel free to reply.
I am not a sales contact - just a tech contact for an approved VMware white label company.
Perhaps another option is to engage with a VMware partner/MSP, who could save you money and help with migration to the cloud and let you focus on your applications that impact your core business. You'll save on Disaster Recovery, security, etc.
