SHOW NOTES:

• SiliconAngle - The Voice of Enterprise Tech (homepage)
• theCube - Event Coverage
• Broadcom will tame the VMware beast (Dave Vellante)
• Broadcom to acquire VMware for $61B
• Broadcom to transit VMware to subscription model (The Register)
• Brian Madden’s perspective on VMware (former VMware employee)

Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show. Lets jump right into it - did you expect VMware to get sold this quickly after finally being “free” of a parent company?

Topic 2 - “Accretive acquisition bringing $8.5B of EBITDA by Year 3” - this seems to be the statement (headline) that really has people talking. What does it mean, and what does it say about the future plans that Broadcom might have for VMware?

Topic 3 - Let’s walk through their slide “Multiple Levers to Increase VMware’s Profitability

Topic 4 - We all know that vSphere/ESX is the cash cow and isn’t going anywhere. Beyond that, how do you potentially see other parts of the portfolio moving forward - VMware on AWS, NSX (networking), VSAN (storage), Tanzu (AppDev)?

Topic 5 - Could you see companies like Cisco or HP or NetApp or Dell buying any of those businesses (especially NSX or VSAN) so that they have permanent attachment to vSphere?  

Topic 6 - Do you have any experience hearing from customers of CA or Symmantec to give current VMware customers a sense of what their new world might look like?

Met een overname van 61 miljard dollar in de IT-sector moeten we natuurlijk wel stilstaan bij de overname van VMware door Broadcom. Want wat betekent dit nu precies voor organisaties die VMware gebruiken? Gaat Broadcom zorgen voor een nieuwe impuls of is dit het begin van het einde? We bespreken het in deze Techzine Talks podcast.

Broadcom is een chipfabrikant die ook op softwaregebied een rol van betekenis wil spelen. Eerder werden hiervoor al CA Technologies en de zakelijke divisie van Symantec overgenomen. Dat waren echter maar kleine overnames in verhouding tot de overname van afgelopen week, waarin bekend werd dat Broadcom virtualisatiespecialist VMware gaat inlijven voor 61 miljard dollar.

De grote vraag is wat zijn de plannen van Broadcom met VMware en welke gevolgen heeft dit voor VMware, VMware-klanten, de VMUG-community maar ook bijvoorbeeld Dell Technologies en concurrent Nutanix.

Each week, Eric Gregory, Sr. Technical Writer, and Nick Chase, Director of Technical Marketing & Developer Relations, break down the interesting & impactful stories from across the cloud native technology landscape. This week's episode will cover KubeCon Europe, some big acquisitions in the IT space, a host of security-related stories & so much more. 

This weeks topics include:

• Broadcom to announce its acquisition of VMware
• Docker Inc. acquires microservices Dev toolkit: Tilt
• KubeCon Europe in review
• CNCF's investment in Telco companies
• CNCF announces new certifications & courses
• Ethics in Open Source Development
• Dynatrace leads charge, submits OpenFeature project to CNCF
• Closing thoughts on KubeCon Europe 2022
• Over 380K Kubernetes API servers are OPEN to the internet
• A win for "good faith" hackers
• CISA urges federal agencies to patch VMware products or stop using them
• Whack-a-Doodle

As mentioned by Eric, this (RCN #49) will be the final episode of Radio Cloud Native (in it's current format).

Please keep the podcast in your feed and keep an eye out for fresh content. Sometime early in this new year, the team at Mirantis is planning to revamp Radio Cloud Native (possibly under a new name, but accessible from this same RSS feed).

Thank you to all of our listeners that kept Radio Cloud Native going over the past two-or-so years. And a special thanks as well as good luck to long-time host Eric Gregory as he pursues future endeavors outside of Mirantis. Stay tuned for more podcasts from Mirantis in 2024!

Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.

It's Monday, which means that Alex and Grace were back as a team to cover the biggest, boldest, and baddest technology news. We are once again back with your weekly kickoff! Here's what we got into:

• The stock market may not vomit all over itself today, which would be a nice break from recent weeks.
• Broadcom is working on buying VMware in what would prove to be a mega-deal. Shares of Broadcom are off on the news, while VMware stock is up sharply. The transaction would be worth tens and tens of billions of dollars, if consummated.
• Paytm earnings had lots to like, and some elements that were less salubrious. Shares of the Indian unicorn have recovered somewhat in recent days, but remains sharply depressed from its IPO price.
• In the startup world: BUD raised $36.8 million, SyIndr raised $12.6 million, and 1K Kirana put $25 million onto its balance sheet.
• And we closed out with the fact that there is no free lunch, even in the crypto world.

Equity drops every Monday at 7 a.m. PDT and Wednesday and Friday at 6 a.m. PDT, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

In this episode…

Would you rebuild a train station or airport? Or would you build and improve upon the current facilities? It is similar to legacy software. Sometimes it is better to build on to the current system instead of starting from scratch. There is always a way to expand what you have with modernized technology without disrupting its core. Arun Vijayaraghavan the R&D Director at Broadcom Software uses his experience in supply chain software and interest in machine learning to help teams move towards technology goals from a development operations (DevOps) perspective.

Businesses who have specific goals and metrics in mind when looking at technology will have better success if they work backward from that goal or metric. Arun explains how legacy infrastructure can be modernized with current technologies allowing for expansion and protection, which can significantly speed up processes and simplify the experience for the consumer. Arun discusses that AI and COVID are pushing companies to seek technology modernization.

In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter and guest Arun Vijayaraghavan discuss the importance of modernizing legacy software to serve consumers better. Modernization is about improving and investing in what you have. Arun summarizes what he thinks is essential to this process; having a goal in mind, not assuming software can’t be modernized, and the importance of people and company culture.
