Here's a different type of post, for those who have accepted the inevitable.
Want to stick it to Broadcom?
Disrupt their business model.
How?
Create technology and/or process to successfully help Broadcom's top 600 customers, migrate off of vSphere, and mainframes.
If you can do that, then they will never reach their profitability goals, no matter how many employees they lay off.
Sounds great. Why don't you stand up a company, get some funding...let us know how it goes... lmfao
We already have Xen Hypervisor and HyperV hypervisors! We don't need VMWare!
The technology to get applications off of vSphere is Containers, but switching to containers requires application transformation and that takes years to happen.
There are grasshoppers here.
Plus you'll get rich in the process
