You know there are few technologies that I like, take C#, it's an awesome language, but satan forbid investing efforts to make myself subjects to a change of CEO, an acquisition, anything, one thing I take from all of this Broadcome situation: always use only open source
if you're still using vmware for virtualization i feel like you get what you deserve at this point. KVM has been around for over a decade, powers most clouds, and has easy to use and powerful implementations.<p>VMWare by comparison is hot garbage. Want to migrate a VM? thats a fee. Want to clone a VM? thats a fee. need a way to configure more than one hypervisors networks at a time? thats a fee. want iSCSI? you've gotta dedicate a full network port to the traffic and cant converge it with the existing trunk. need ARM? tough shit. want support? good luck, if youre calling VMWare you are truly desperate, and some of those 2800 people cut from the rank and file probably had byzantine ESX style answers for you.
