Sheetz store chain drops VMware over Broadcom's policies
Translated by a model; the original is in Russian.
Sheetz, the American chain of roadside convenience stores and gas stations, has announced that it is moving from the VMware virtualization platform to a solution from StorMagic. The change will affect 838 of the chain's stores.
According to company representatives, the decision to abandon VMware was driven by the “far too much uncertainty” created by Broadcom's policies following its acquisition of the company.
StorMagic will become the new platform running the infrastructure at Sheetz's retail locations.
The Sheetz case is yet another example of how changes to Broadcom's licensing and commercial policies after its VMware acquisition are forcing enterprise customers to rethink their IT strategies and look for alternative providers of virtualization solutions.
