Since the completion of Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, we have been all about change. For the VMware Cloud Foundation division, all of this change was necessary to transform our business to deliver faster innovation with more value to customers, and even better profitability and market opportunity for our partners. So, what’s changed now, post-acquisition, and why will this benefit your organization? In this session we will lay out VMware’s business model transition to subscription licensing which is the standard in the industry, the radical simplification across our portfolio, go-to-market and organizational structure to make it easier to do business with us, and the standardization across our ecosystem.

In this presentation, Prashanth Shenoy from VMware, now part of Broadcom, discusses the significant changes and strategic shifts that have occurred since the acquisition. The primary focus has been on simplifying VMware’s offerings, particularly through the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), which integrates various components like vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and ARIA automation into a unified private cloud platform. Shenoy emphasizes that the goal is to provide a consistent and seamless experience for customers, whether they deploy on-premises, at the edge, or through hyperscalers like AWS or Google Cloud. This shift is aimed at addressing customer feedback about the complexity of VMware’s previous offerings, which included thousands of SKUs and multiple independent business entities. By consolidating these into a single business division and product line, VMware aims to accelerate innovation and provide a more streamlined, integrated solution.

Additionally, Shenoy highlights the transition to a subscription-based licensing model, which aligns with industry standards and offers customers greater flexibility in deploying their cloud infrastructure. VMware has also introduced license portability, allowing customers to move their licenses between on-premises and cloud environments without additional costs. The company is also focusing on customer success by offering value-added services, professional support, and training programs to help customers adopt and optimize their private cloud deployments.
