Pairing virtualization software tech with hardware chipsets that directly support it seems like a good plan.

  I think this is the play. They can create or influence standards that favor their new position - build vertical integration where others in this space cannot.

    Wouldn't that be an abuse of monopoly though? If VMware suddenly starts supporting broadcom hardware better than other enterprise hardware.

      You could call it that. But it's also industry practice.

    Absolutely not. You’re thinking that Broadcom acts as a company with a technological vision. This is a totally not the case and the CEO is very open about that. Today’s Broadcom is a company that optimizes the financial performance of technology assets. There are no long term plans.
