Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has significantly altered the company's product offerings and licensing structure, notably affecting their storage virtualization solution, vSAN. Many businesses may now incur higher costs due to these changes, prompting some organizations to reevaluate their virtualization strategies, potentially moving away from VMware systems. VMware's recent shift from perpetual licenses to a subscription model simplifies their pricing but raises concerns about operational complexities and costs. As a result, companies need to carefully plan migration strategies to minimize risks related to downtime and data loss.
VMware's licensing changes now focus on a subscription model, with vSAN services bundled into VMware Cloud Foundation, leading to increased costs and operational complexities for businesses.
The shift away from perpetual licensing to a subscription model aims to simplify VMware’s pricing structure but may lead to higher costs for customers utilizing vSAN.
