As firms abandon VMware, Broadcom is laughing all the way to the bank
Another company has publicly cut ties with Broadcom’s VMware. This time, it’s Ingram Micro, one of the world’s biggest IT distributors. The announcement comes as Broadcom eyes services as a key part of maintaining VMware business in 2025. But even as some customers are reducing reliance on VMware, its trillion-dollar owner is laughing all the way to the bank.

Ingram is reducing its Broadcom-related business to “limited engagement with VMware in select regions,” a spokesperson told The Register this week.
“We were unable to reach an agreement with Broadcom that would help our customers deliver the best technology outcomes now and in the future while providing an appropriate shareholder return,” the spokesperson said.
