About Broadcom Migration Research
Our Mission
Broadcom Migration Research helps IT teams build defensible VMware licensing and migration decisions. We publish source-led analysis, practical evaluation frameworks, and technical planning guidance for enterprise infrastructure teams.
Why This Site Exists
Post-acquisition licensing and product changes have made VMware renewal decisions more complex. IT leaders need attributable evidence and explicit assumptions, not a vendor’s preferred conclusion.
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
Independence and 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
Read our full methodology, editorial policy, and disclosures. Vendors may provide technical information or product access, but do not control editorial conclusions. Comparative analysis identifies both strengths and limitations.
