いよいよVMware by Broadcomとしてのライセンス販売形式の変更がアナウンスされたようです。 ※私の解釈を書きますが、誤っていればどなたかコメントください • 永続ライセンス販売は終了し、今後は全ての製品をサブスクリプション式に変更 (対応原文)Complete the transition of all VMware by Broadcom solutions to subscription licenses, with the end of sale of perpetual licenses • 主要製品としてのvSphereは、大きく分けて二つの形式でサブスクリプション提供となる 1. VMware Cloud Foundation 2. vSphere Foundation(主に中小企業向け) (対応原文)Today, we’re announcing specific changes coming to the VMware Cloud Foundation division portfolio. Going forward, the division will feature two primary offers: •VMware Cloud Foundation, our flagship enterprise-class hybrid cloud solution for customers to run their business critical and modern applications – in a secure, resilient and cost efficient manner. To allow more customers to benefit from this solution, we’ve reduced the previous subscription list price by half and added higher support service levels including enhanced support for activating the solution and lifecycle management. •The new VMware vSphere Foundation delivers a more simplified enterprise-grade workload platform for our mid-sized to smaller customers. This solution integrates vSphere with our intelligent operations management to provide the best performance, availability, and efficiency with greater visibility and insights. • どちらのサブスクリプションにもアドオンのライセンスもあり(同社ストレージやランサムウェア対策など) なお、セキュリティやプライベートAIなどはVMware Cloud Foundationサブスクリプションにのみ対応 (対応原文) Both VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere Foundation will have optional advanced add-on offers. Our storage offering, ransomware and disaster recovery service, and application platform services are available on both offers. And Application Network and Security offerings are available for VMware Cloud Foundation. Additional advanced services and offerings, including Private AI, will be available soon. news.vmware.com/company/vmwa… #VMware #Broadcom #VMwarebyBroadcom
