It's not the first time I have been told about the interest in Broadcom to acquire VMWare, apparently Broadcom looking forward to make a big acquisition and VMWare seems to be on of their main targets.
After the CA and Symantec debacle for their previously existing employees, this could make even a bigger hit than the lay-off waves experienced.
How much of truth could be in this rumor? If VMW is going to be acquired, would be other companies interested?
So this was already discussed a year ago. As mentioned above, out of the Dell frying pan into the kitty litter box.
software defined networking - check, security inside the network - check, spac for telecom related tech-check, Edge networking goodies - check. Cloud universal and other aaS offering...well, getting there.
Ok, I can see the benefit to Broadcom, so on to question two -
With the debt increase for VMware coming from the spin off, does broadcom have the cash on hand?
Question 3, with MD as a the lead shareholder, would he split off those 2 or 3 BUs (sbu, nsbu, euc) or let Broadcom have a chance to buy his majority stake? He has a 5 year agreement to protect his Dell Tech interests.
Out of the Dell frying pan and into the kitty litter box?
Where is this rumor coming from?
