    European retailer here with >3000 stores in EU.

    We recently decided to move away from VMware after the Broadcom “takeover”. We have three scenarios to cover; datacenter setup, satellite offices (stand alone hosts) & hosting partners.

    For stand alone it was an easy choice; proxmox. For datacenter; hyper-v. Hosting providers; VMware (their choice).

    At the moment we are pushing our hosting providers for exit plans from VMware.

    As a company we have taken the decision to not support Broadcom pricing structure if we can avoid it.

      Large companies telling broadcom to go suck a lemon, is definitely what can make a difference for the rest of us in the future… Definitely maybe, possibly make potential a difference.
