Uncovering the true value of VMware’s new era of radical focus
The guide explains VMware’s transition under Broadcom to a simplified subscription-based model focused on three bundles: Cloud Foundation, vSphere Foundation, and Cloud on X. It marks the end of perpetual licenses and per-CPU billing, shifting to per-core licensing and separating Carbon Black and End-User Computing. This streamlining reduces product complexity and supports cost optimization but requires organizations to reassess assets and renewals. Softchoice’s SAM+ methodology helps customers adapt by assessing usage, mitigating licensing costs, and aligning new VMware subscriptions with business goals for maximum efficiency and ROI.
