Are Your IT Operations Too Dependent on VMware?

The acquisition of VMware by Broadcom may create risks for organizations that rely on VMware virtualization technologies including VMware Cloud Foundation®, vSphere®, vSAN®, and VMC®. According to Broadcom, there may be intent to double VMware's profitability after the acquisition through Recurring Revenue Growth, Focusing Research & Development and Support, and other levers.¹

As a technical leader, you are no doubt considering how this acquisition will impact VMware support, pricing, and innovation and preparing for possible adjustments to your existing VMware deployments and next-generation technology plans. Nutanix is here to help you navigate this uncertainty with strategies to address risks posed by the Broadcom acquisition.

Manage VMware Support Risk in the Broadcom Era

Infrastructure is at the heart of modern IT, and support is critical for maintaining security, compliance, and day 2 operations. The Broadcom acquisition may raise concerns about the level of support for VMware products after the deal closes.

Support has been a Nutanix core competency for years. We have a 96% customer satisfaction rating, and our support organization has maintained a Net Promoter Score of 90 for over 7 years. We operate 9 support centers providing support services in more than 150 countries and 20 languages.
