Broadcom’s efforts to ease concerns over its recent changes to VMware’s cloud licencing practices appear to have backfired.
Last week, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan attempted to reassure customers and investors with a blog post defending the company’s licencing practices.
Broadcom announced price cuts and increased flexibility for moving workloads between cloud environments, but CISPE has taken strong exception to Broadcom’s portrayal of the situation.
However, critics, including the Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers Europe (CISPE) trade group, reject the adjustments, arguing they fail to address core issues like price hikes and restrictive licencing terms.
