In November 2023, Broadcom acquired VMware, and since then, the company has implemented major changes to VMWare services and pricing. Customers report price increases of 500-600% last year. In addition, many of special VMWare programs have been canceled, including the VMware Academic Software Licensing Program and the VMware IT Academy.
These changes have many companies and institutions rethinking their virtualization strategies. More than half of current customers are considering leaving the platform.
At AJ Boggs, we help organizations transition from VMware to cost-effective cloud hosting quickly, securely, and without disruption or downtime.
Before the acquisition, VMware offered discounted licenses to educational institutions. That discount is now gone and colleges are subject to standard, more expensive commercial pricing.
Institutions are also facing increased costs from VMware’s shift to subscription-based licensing. Many colleges and universities face dramatic price increases, with some renewals costing several times more than their previous perpetual licenses. These changes mean reduced budgets for academic IT projects and uncertainty for long-term planning.
