New SMB-friendly subscription tier may be too late to stop VMware migrations

Quick Summary:

Broadcom acquisition was a "wake-up call" for VMware-dependent SMBs.

All that, combined with Broadcom ditching some smaller VMware channel partners (and reportedly taking the biggest clients direct), have raised doubts that Broadcom's VMware would be a good fit for smaller customers.“The challenge with much of the VMware by Broadcom changes to date and before the announcement [of the vSphere Enterprise Plus subscription tier] is that it also forced many organizations to a much higher offering and much more components to a stack that they were previously uninterested in deploying," Rick Vanover, Veeam's product strategy VP, told Ars.

But it may be too late to convince some SMBs not to abandon VMware.
