Holy shit.

We've invested heavily in vSAN over the past few years, and use or are looking at a few of those tools. I guess 'were looking at' is a better term now.

You had a good run, VMware, but apparently it's fucking over now.

As soon as the purchase was made public the fortune 50 company I work for ran as fast as possible to VARs looking for alternatives. It will take us 5 years to migrate off, but I've never seen such a universal desire to jump to another product inside a company this large. Broadcom is universally known to do nothing but milk and kill what they aquire.
