VMware Users Plan To Reduce Use By 2028
7.1
An independent Virtified survey of 450 VMware users across 14 countries finds roughly half plan to reduce their use of VMware products by 2028. Virtified principal Michael Warrilow attributes the shift to Broadcom's Cloud Foundation 9 mandatory bundle, citing cost and complexity as migration drivers. The October 2027 end-of-support for v8.x and Broadcom's discounting practices may force some firms to buy VCF 9 or delay migrations.
Key Points
- 1Report finds ~50% of 450 surveyed VMware users plan reductions by 2028
- 2Highlights Broadcom's VCF 9 mandatory bundle and October 2027 support cutoff driving migration pressure
- 3Implies organizations must assess VM estates, plan migrations, or budget for costly VCF 9 upgrades
Scoring Rationale
Strong industry implications from survey and Broadcom policy; limited by single-analyst source and scope of evidence.
