Things haven't gone well for Broadcom since it acquired VMware, and much of what has happened has confirmed fears that Virtzilla customers expressed well before the deal closed.in an interview that Broadcom's strategy seems to be one of tossing most VMware clients to the wind while trying to retain the largest in a bid to drum up profits. You can watch the full interview below.
"It was very clear … that the focus was on just 600 accounts, I believe. And there were another 6,000 customers mentioned that they want to sustain," Boost told us."It was mentioned specifically that a hundred thousand customers would trail off over time."that Boost said has resulted in considerably higher prices.
"We've seen as much as 10x price increases that people have told us about," Boost noted."Typically we're hearing them from people that are saying, you know, anything from three to five on average." "Time will tell" whether Broadcom can claw its way out of this hole, Boost said,"but a lot of this is by design," he opined. ®
