The VMware Problem Is Real and Urgent
Costs Jumped Overnight
Broadcom's 2023 acquisition forced customers into mandatory subscription bundles. Across the 60+ VMware renewal quotes our advisors reviewed between 2024 and 2026, increases cluster in the 2–5× range. Publicly disclosed cases run higher still, because a renewal has to be extreme before anyone outside the deal hears about it.
Renewal Deadlines Are Real
Legacy perpetual licenses are being discontinued. If your renewal is approaching, you need a plan. Whether you migrate or stay on VMware through a lower-cost provider, you have more options than Broadcom wants you to know about.
You Have More Options Than You Think
You can migrate to a new platform, or keep running VMware through providers with significantly lower pricing than Broadcom. Bridgepointe maps out every path, including ones Broadcom won't tell you about.
