博通收購VMware後一次砍掉56款產品客戶正在選購替代品跑路
在博通成功收購VMware 後該公司已經明確說明後續產品會從買斷版轉向訂閱版,這已經引起不少客戶的不滿,然而這並不是全部,在對VMware 團隊進行較大規模的裁員後,現在博通也要對VMware 產品線進行「裁員」。
本週在一份公告中VMware 表示該公司一系列產品將停止供貨,這些產品不再可以購買— 儘管這些產品仍還在VMware 官網上展示。
新東家博通表示,他們正在將VMware 的產品組合簡化為“專注於我們最佳技術的一些產品”,這些產品主要包含三大塊:網路和安全虛擬化平台NSX、應用行動平台HCX 和多雲平台捆綁包vSPhere+。
而被淘汰的產品(文末有詳細清單) 所有授權選項,包括永久、技術支援和訂閱、SaaS / 託管和訂閱、每個產品的所有版本/ 套件/ 定價說明,除非另有通知,否則均全部停售。
博通強調在未來客戶進行產品續訂時,該公司將為客戶提供最好的訂閱產品以滿足他們的需求。
目前博通的做法已經引起了不少客戶的不滿,這些客戶正在與博通的競爭對手溝通,他們不希望依賴博通和VMware,VMware 的競爭對手包括Nutanix,分析師預計該公司將在此次混亂中獲益。
最後博通也準備以50 億美元的價格將VMware 最終用戶運算部門給賣了,這個部門包括VMware Workspace One 和Horizon 產品、分別用於存取控制/ 應用管理和統一端點管理平台、虛擬桌面產品。
