JAKARTA, November 28, 2024 – Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware in 2023 has introduced new challenges for many organizations that rely on virtualization technology for their operations.

One of the most significant impacts of this change is the rising operational costs, particularly related to licensing and support services. Broadcom has eliminated perpetual licenses and replaced them with a subscription-based model, leading to a cost increase of 100–800% in some contracts.

This strategy forces customers to choose subscription packages that often do not align with their actual needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are among the most affected, as the additional costs put a strain on their budgets.

Moreover, Broadcom tends to prioritize larger customers, leaving smaller users feeling overlooked.

These changes directly affect institutions that have long relied on VMware’s solutions. The discontinuation of support for certain products adds to the operational challenges, especially for organizations that want to continue using VMware-based infrastructure without undergoing a massive migration.

With its new focus on cloud-based services, Broadcom is pushing customers toward a more modern operational model. However, this transition often comes with new challenges, such as high migration costs and technological adaptation, requiring additional investment from customers.

Challenges in VMware Implementation

Based on the previous case, individuals and organizations looking to adopt or maintain VMware usage often face several critical challenges, including:

• Escalating Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): The rising costs of VMware licensing and services post-acquisition have become a financial burden.
• IT Infrastructure Complexity: Transitioning to a virtualized environment often requires careful planning and complex integration.
• Limited Internal IT Resources: Not all organizations have sufficient expertise to manage virtualization solutions independently.
• Reliability and Security: Ensuring that virtual infrastructure remains secure from threats and operates efficiently is a top priority.
