Broadcom is raising the minimum requirements for VMware licenses from 16 to 72 cores, effective April 10, which will significantly impact smaller customers. Those with lower core counts will be forced to pay for unused licenses, increasing their financial burden. The change aligns with Broadcom's strategic focus on larger clients, leaving smaller users vulnerable. Additionally, penalties for late subscription renewals further exacerbate the situation. Broadcom's restructuring of VMware post-acquisition has led to increased profits, with a strategy focusing on selling bundled licenses to larger players.
"The minimum number of required cores per command line will increase from 16 to 72 as of April 10, impacting especially smaller customers."
"Broadcom's strategy is aimed at larger, more profitable customers, which leaves smaller users with significantly increased costs for unused cores."
