Changes to VMware’s Product Offerings After Broadcom Merger, Simplified for You

Since Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, there’s been significant change to VMware’s product offerings, leaving many of us uncertain about the new landscape. Recognizing the confusion surrounding these changes, this merger of Broadcom and VMware has created a new chapter for IT. We know change can be a whirlwind, so we’re here to be your guide. Let’s simplify the complexity and help you make informed decisions.

What Changes Has VMware Made Following the Acquisition by Broadcom?

VMware by Broadcom has made its product line much simpler. Instead of having over 160 different products, they now offer just four key offerings. These key offerings are VMware Cloud Foundation for large-scale hybrid clouds, VMware vSphere Foundation for mid-sized businesses, VMware vSphere Standard for basic virtualization, and VMware vSphere Essential Plus Kit for expanded features. These options cover different business needs, from small businesses to large corporations. This focused approach enables customers to more easily select the optimal solution for their specific requirements, reducing complexity and accelerating deployment.

What Are the New Key Offerings from VMware by Broadcom?

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)

Ideal for large and midsize enterprises, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) provides a comprehensive platform for managing both private and public cloud environments. This all-in-one solution integrates seamlessly with various public cloud providers, offering advanced capabilities like private AI and sophisticated security solutions. VCF is perfect for organizations looking to build a robust hybrid cloud infrastructure that ensures flexibility, scalability, and enhanced security.

VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF)

For midsize and smaller businesses focusing on on-premises data centres, VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) is a cost-effective entry point into cloud computing. It simplifies the setup and management of virtual machines (VMs), providing a secure and reliable foundation for running workloads on your own hardware. VVF is designed for businesses seeking to improve efficiency and security by virtualizing their existing servers and workloads.

VMware vSphere Standard

Aimed at smaller deployments, VMware vSphere Standard offers the core functionalities required for most virtualization needs. This solution allows businesses to create and manage VMs on physical servers, acting as separate computers and optimizing resource usage. It is an excellent starting point for businesses looking to virtualize their applications and servers efficiently.

VMware vSphere Essential Plus Kit

The VMware vSphere Essential Plus Kit is tailored for businesses with limited IT resources, providing a basic package to get started with virtualization. This solution enables server consolidation, allowing multiple VMs to run on limited configurations, thus saving on hardware costs and simplifying management.
