VMware's end-user compute products probably have a new brand: Omnissa VMware's end user compute products appear likely to be rebranded as Omnissa after being sold off. Broadcom decided to sell VMware's portfolio of desktop and application virtualization products after it acquired the biz, deeming them surplus to requirements. They were picked up by private equity operation KKR for around $4 …
Artificially tight deadline created because the Board has decided something stupid ?
You bet it's going to create a mess. The gun is going to meet the foot and Broadcom is going to demonstrate how little it cares about the users of the product it has paid a fortune to destroy.
.. On top of the "we've removed all the SKUs except for the combo SKUs, and delivered a great big, spiked, unlubricated shaft to almost every reseller, and are dragging our feet on the remaining ones" debacle from two months ago?
(I assure you, that is the toned-down version- the full strength one has profanity in it from my weapons-grade vocabulary, and requires several linear feet of paperwork to use in peacetime...)
The dramatic twist is when it's revealed that KKR stands for Khorne's Knights Revolutionary, and all users of VMware Horizon are to offered up to Chaos in a sacrifice of bloody demonic feasting to usher in a millennium of night and terror.
Still arguably better than having to rely on Broadcom.
