Significant changes in VMware's licensing and product offerings in the Middle East, post the Broadcom acquisition, are driving enterprises and cloud service providers (CSPs) to adapt rapidly to them, including making strategic shifts. Hyperscaler cloud providers such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud, as well as vendors like Red Hat and Nutanix, are trying to capitalize on the market developments. Great insights based on extensive discussions with enterprises and providers in this new IDC report from my colleagues Shahin Hashim and Andrew Buss: https://ow.ly/mu3g50T2StH

I had the privilege of engineering the first VMware Verified Sovereign Cloud in the GCC, back when 'sovereign' was not the buzzword it is today. During this journey, I witnessed VMware’s exceptional ability to meet the unique needs of sovereign providers, solidifying its position as the standard for virtualization and hybrid cloud management across enterprises and CSP partners. Explore our analysis and insights on how Middle Eastern customers plan to navigate the post-Broadcom landscape.

On this episode of The Six Five - Insider Edition, hosts Daniel Newman and Patrick Moorhead welcome Broadcom’s Sanjay Uppal, VP & GM, Software-Defined Edge Division, for an inside look at how the now combined Broadcom and VMware are approaching opportunities at the edge. Their discussion covers: * Why a software-defined edge approach will enable the combined Broadcom and VMware to win going forward * How is software-defined edge technology changing what customers can do at the edge * How do the combined Broadcom and VMware think about the need for infrastructure, orchestration, and programmability at the edge * Why scalability and flexibility impacts the design of software-defined edge solutions #Broadcom #VMware #Edge #Security #Software #innovation #tech #sixfivewebcast #patrickmoorhead #danielnewman

So...had your conversation yet with #broadcom about your future? I understand Broadcom are looking to maximise their investment and focus on making that happen. But what about an entire industry that have put their faith in the #vmware brand and built their business around it? We at Zadara are talking to a number of you that are just waiting for that dreaded call, that has you: a) Forced into a subscription model, changing your whole CAPEX business strategy. b) Having to buy into "shelf ware" with the likes of vSAN and NSX-T that you haven't yet needed or wanted to use. Driving up your cost to serve. c) Wondering if you are now going to have to procure, (if they agree to sell to you) from your competitors. This is going to be a year of turmoil and likely to hit businesses hard as they scramble to make sense of what to do next. So, do you sit and wait to find out in March/April where your fate lies, or do you start having exploratory conversations now? #options #vmware #cloudcomputing

The transition of VMware to a subscription-based model aligns with the prevailing industry trend. In the contemporary business landscape, such shifts are commonplace, and it is noteworthy that VMware's move is in keeping with broader developments. Executing such a strategic shift during a transitional period, particularly in light of Dell's sale to Broadcom, appears judicious and logically aligned with the evolving business structure. Moreover, when an enterprise incurs substantial debt, as in this instance, a clear and well-thought-out plan for repayment becomes imperative. https://lnkd.in/gsKgMruu
