Following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, significant changes have been introduced to the VMware licensing model, affecting the availability of VMware licenses and workloads. As one of Premier Partner in Indonesia, Lintasarta wants to ensure you’re informed about these changes.
About VMware and Licensing Changes
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has led to a new subscription-based licensing model. This includes the introduction of VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) and VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). Additionally, new limitations have been implemented on who can sell VMware licenses and host VMware workloads. These changes are part of a streamlined approach post-acquisition. Lintasarta is committed to providing accurate information and support to navigate these transitions effectively.
