•Broadcom responds to AT&T’s VMware support lawsuit: AT&T has “other options”
76% Informative
AT&T says Broadcom is breaking a contract by refusing to renew support for perpetual license support for its software.
Broadcom famously ended perpetual VMware license sales shortly after closing its acquisition in favor of a subscription model.
The transition from perpetual licenses to subscriptions was years in the making and, thus, should have been prepared, Broadcom says.
ATandT uses VMware products to run 75,000 virtual machines across about 8,600 servers.
As this lawsuit demonstrates, Broadcom 's VMware has brought serious customer concerns around ongoing support.
Companies like Spinnaker Support are trying to capitalize by offering third -party support services.
The challenge many have is that not paying fees means not getting support or security on their existing investment.
