I get that this is a deliberate strategy by Broadcom, but can someone explain how the strategy makes any sense? Broadcom apparently spent $69 billion to acquire VMware, so how does setting it on fire make sense financially?
- alephnerd 3y ago$8m is chump change in the Enterprise SaaS/cybersecurity industry. AV or Endpoint spend at a F1000 is around that much alone. A backbone vendor like VMWare can and does charge 4-6x more ime.
