Broadcom acquisition of VMware disaster

I feel badly for small businesses and non-profits who are suffering from the huge price increases in VMware products and support after the Broadcom acquisition. So many of our SMB customers use the VMware suite of products. There is really no other platform that is easily available for migration.

We partnered with VMware before the acquisition and they were just a great team to work with. I guess all of that is pretty much gone.

Of all the risks that organizations plan for this type of disruption is rarely on the radar. And no one plans for the financial costs.

Show some love to your favorite FOSS solution.
