End users fear Broadcom will raise VMware prices. So, they’re looking to leave, say ShapeBlue and VergeIO.
Is VMware losing customers?
As the 25-year-old virtualization and cloud computing company anticipates new ownership by the end of next month, two new surveys indicate the answer is a resounding yes.
On Tuesday, cloud integrator ShapeBlue and data center software provider VergeIO released separate data citing end-user uncertainty around the imminent Broadcom–VMware combination.
Both companies’ customers fear VMware pricing will soar with Broadcom in charge, and they predict Broadcom will push VMware only to focus on large organizations.
