Broadcom's tactic here is to dump the little fish, keep the whales. Then rake in that revenue for very little effort in support and development until budget proposals showing better alternatives are written, enterprise capital expenditure cycles around to the next refresh, and the whales finally go elsewhere.

Broadcom told ATT to pay up or fuck off. I’m seriously surprised. Broadcom has done more for all other virtualization platforms than anyone else in history.

Proxmox usage alone exploded nearly overnight. Nutanix has been printing money.
