WS1 was on their profitability slide as number three or so so no way it gets sold off. Meanwhile CB was deadlast. So I expect CB to get cut and euc to stay which has synergy with security as it's work from anywhere that we secure.

EUC leads in SAAS revenue so id be more worried about getting "trimmed" in another focused org.

Also no synergy just means another avenue of revenue

What a waste of talents! You guys should be the head of Broadcom Software Group. Tom Krause can be let go for a big cost cut.

All the unprofitable product groups will be cut hard or divested
VSphere, VRealize, VSAN, parts of NSX everything in the core likely stay
Tanzu stripped down to bare minimum. EUC, Carbon Black likely cut
Focus will be private cloud, all the unprofitable sh-t will be chopped

EUC. no synergy.
Networking is possible, but there is some synergy there.
Security is too hot. Some will go or be deprecated, but lots will stay.

People in EUC should lose their minds. My guess, either sold off, or stripped down to basic products and support.
