Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Completion of purchase press release

Based on what came from the press release today. Seems like these are the priorities. I assume other products will be divested?

“Incremental to Broadcom's investment in VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware will offer a rich catalog of services to modernize and optimize cloud and edge environments, including VMware Tanzu to help accelerate deployment of applications, as well as Application Networking (Load Balancing) and Advanced Security services, and VMware Software-Defined Edge for Telco and enterprise edges.”

I think Brian's brother, Jack Madden, still works at VMW.

Can't wait to read his candid LinkedIn post about the future of VMW under AVGO.

VMware Tanzu to help accelerate deployment of applications

Uh huh - right. Wonder how long it will take until Hock finds out the truth.

Cloud repatriation is coming. All it will take is higher prices and a major outage or two.

As Brian Madden (prior EUC product evangelist for CTO) said in his infamous LinkedIn rant, "VMware is toast" after the AVGO acquisition was announced. Was that foresight?

Did he foresee a press release that continued the mythical cloud upside opportunity for VMW? What 'rich catalog' is the AVGO PR team referring to exactly? I'm puzzled.

Brian Madden's harsh assessment came from his numerous interactions with senior leadership at customers who raised legitimate concerns about VMware's future relevance in an IT and software market that has long since moved on from the legacy virtualization era.
