IT之家 1 月 25 日消息，博通（Broadcom）此前以 690 億美元（當前約 4926.6 億元人民幣）并購 VMware，之后解雇了 1300 名 VMware 員工，并將 VMware 云服務“永久許可證”改為訂閱制度。
目前 VMware 宣布旗下 59 款產品已經結束供應（End Of Availability，EOA），不再提供銷售、支持、SaaS / 托管等服務，原先訂閱 59 項產品的用戶在訂閱過期后需轉用 VMware 最新推出的 Cloud Foundation（VCF）或 VMware vSphere Foundation（VVF）訂閱。
據(jù)悉，VCF 訂閱號稱是面向用戶全端基礎設施需求的解決方案，提供包括 vSphere、vSAN 和 NSX 等服務，以及完整的 Aria 管理和調度工具；VVF 則是 VMWare 針對傳統(tǒng) vSphere 環(huán)境中的數(shù)據(jù)中心提供的解決方案，包括 Tanzu Kubernetes Grid、Aria Operations 和 Aria Operations for Logs 等工具。
在 VMware 博客文章中，官方聲稱“許多 VMware 的軟件解決方案都將作為 VCF 和 VVF 的一部分提供”，這暗示只需使用少量功能的用戶也需要花費更多預算購買 VCF 或 VVF 訂閱。
VMware 還計劃提供自帶授權（Bring Your Own License）功能，允許用戶從博通購買 VCF 訂閱，并將這些訂閱部署到經過 VMware 驗證的云節(jié)點或本地數(shù)據(jù)中心。
