MTMG Can Help You Make The Most Of The VMware Portfolio Changes
Broadcom’s Streamlined Offerings: A New Look at VMware
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has led to a simplified product portfolio. Previously separate products are now bundled into two main offerings: VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere Foundation. This means customers with existing vCenter and vSphere licenses may now find Tanzu Kubernetes Grid included in their bundle.
While container technology is expected to grow, not everyone is ready to use it yet. This change highlights the need for strategic planning to ensure you’re getting the most value from your VMware investment.
