After ingesting VMware, Broadcom quickly decided to sell only subscriptions comprising support and bundles of its software... customers would extract maximum value from the VMware stack and its wares effectively will pay for themselves.
The Register has been told of bills rising by 500 or 600 percent and read accounts of license costs leaping from $17,000 to $470,000, and $8 million to $100 million... could be cheaper than new VMware licenses.
Broadcom has told The Register those who complain about price hikes haven't done their sums right by considering the cost of support on top of VMware's old perpetual licenses.
Broadcom has promised shareholders its approach will see it achieve double-digit revenue growth for its VMware portfolio throughout 2024... if it can others will surely be tempted to replicate.
