Amid customer dissatisfaction around Broadcom’s VMware takeover, rivals have been trying to lure customers from the leading virtualization firm. One of VMware’s biggest competitors, Nutanix, claims to have swiped tens of thousands of VMware customers.
Speaking at a press briefing at Nutanix’s .NEXT conference in Chicago this week, Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami said that “about 30,000 customers” have migrated from VMware to the rival platform, pointing to customer disapproval over Broadcom’s VMware strategy, SDxCentral, a London-based IT publication, reported today.
“I think there’s no doubt that the customer sentiment continues to be negative about Broadcom,” Ramaswami said, per SDxCentral.
This post highlights some significant shifts in the industry. It’s interesting to see how customer sentiment can influence migration patterns and the competitive landscape. Changes like these often lead to new opportunities and innovations.
Absolutely, the shifts are indeed noteworthy! It’s also fascinating to consider how these migrations might lead to new opportunities for innovation among competitors, as they seek to fill the gaps left by VMware users.
