About This Resource#

Our Mission#

Broadcom Migration Resource exists to help IT teams build defensible business cases for VMware migration. We compile verified cost data from court filings, analyst reports, regulatory investigations, and enterprise case studies.

Why This Site Exists#

After Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, organizations worldwide faced price increases of 500-1,500%. IT leaders need hard numbers—not vendor marketing—to justify migration investments to CFOs and boards.

We provide:

Verified pricing data from court filings, analyst reports, and official sources
Real migration timelines from enterprise case studies
Alternative cost comparisons across major platforms
Business case frameworks for leadership presentations

Our Methodology#

Every data point on this site includes source attribution. We prioritize:

Court filings and legal documents (highest reliability)
Analyst reports (Gartner, IDC, Forrester)
Regulatory filings (ECCO, antitrust investigations)
Official vendor pricing (Proxmox, Microsoft, etc.)
Verified enterprise case studies
Community data (Reddit, forums) with appropriate caveats

Disclosure: Our Relationship with Pextra#

Full transparency: This site operates in partnership with Pextra, a VMware alternative platform.

What this means:

Pextra supports this educational resource
We recommend evaluating Pextra alongside other alternatives
Our cost data comes from independent sources, not Pextra marketing

What this doesn’t mean:

We don’t inflate competitor pricing
We don’t hide Pextra’s limitations
We don’t discourage choosing competitors when they’re a better fit

Our commitment: The cost data and comparisons on this site are sourced independently. If Pextra isn’t right for your use case, choose the alternative that is. Your migration success matters more than any single vendor.
