The VMware vSphere and vSAN subscription framework under Broadcom anchors the Broadcom VMware framework against the customer's actual VMware utilization framework across the contracted VMware Cloud Foundation renewal cycle.

The publisher's preferred Broadcom framework anchors the broad VMware Cloud Foundation framework across the customer's VMware populations. The cumulative effect is that the publisher's preferred trajectory is the broad VMware Cloud Foundation framework across vSphere subscription, vSAN subscription, NSX subscription, Aria subscription, and the broader VCF subscription bundle.

The buyer side framework anchors the Broadcom VMware framework against the customer's actual VMware utilization framework. The framework typically delivers twenty to forty percent savings against the Broadcom VCF renewal framework.

The VMware vSphere and vSAN subscription framework intersects with five principal commercial dimensions across the customer's VMware framework:

  1. The VCF subscription bundle framework.
  2. The vSphere subscription framework.
  3. The vSAN subscription framework.
  4. The VCF subscription term framework.
  5. The VCF renewal framework.

The VCF subscription bundle framework

The VCF subscription bundle framework is the publisher's preferred Broadcom framework that anchors the VMware Cloud Foundation framework across the customer's actual VMware utilization framework. The framework typically anchors the VCF subscription bundle framework at the publisher's preferred broad VCF subscription trajectory at the upper customer scale.

The VCF subscription bundle framework segments the bundle framework across four principal VCF bundle populations: the VCF Standard framework, the VCF Advanced framework, the VCF Enterprise framework, and the bespoke VCF subscription bundle framework. The buyer side framework anchors the VCF subscription bundle framework against the customer's actual VMware utilization framework.

The vSphere subscription framework

The vSphere subscription framework is the second principal commercial framework. The publisher segments the vSphere subscription framework across the customer's actual VMware host framework. The framework typically meters the vSphere subscription against the customer's actual vSphere core count at the contracted VCF renewal cycle.

The vSphere subscription framework typically segments the vSphere framework across four principal vSphere populations: the vSphere Standard framework, the vSphere Foundation framework, the vSphere Enterprise Plus framework, and the bespoke vSphere subscription framework.

The vSAN subscription framework

The vSAN subscription framework is the third principal commercial framework. The publisher segments the vSAN subscription framework across four principal vSAN populations: the vSAN Standard framework, the vSAN Advanced framework, the vSAN Enterprise framework, and the bespoke vSAN subscription framework.

The buyer side framework anchors the vSAN subscription framework against the customer's actual VMware utilization framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad VCF subscription bundle framework, with material commercial saving across the VMware framework when the customer's actual VMware utilization framework matches the lower vSAN subscription framework.

The subscription term framework

The VCF subscription term framework is the fourth principal commercial framework. The publisher anchors the VCF subscription term framework against the customer's broader VMware framework at the contracted VCF renewal cycle.

The VCF subscription term framework typically segments the term framework across four principal VCF subscription term populations: the one year framework, the three year framework, the five year framework, and the bespoke VCF subscription term framework.

The renewal framework

The VCF renewal framework is the fifth principal commercial framework. The publisher anchors the renewal framework against the customer's broader VMware framework at the renewal cycle.

The VCF renewal framework typically segments the renewal framework across four principal renewal populations: the renewal scope framework, the renewal bundle framework, the renewal core count framework, and the bespoke renewal framework.

The exposure framework

The Broadcom VMware exposure framework is the sixth principal commercial framework. The framework typically segments the exposure population across four principal exposure populations: the bundle escalation, the vSphere escalation, the vSAN escalation, and the renewal escalation. Broadcom has applied substantial price increases at the VMware framework, with documented cases at the upper customer scale.

The buyer side moves

The buyer side framework for the VMware vSphere and vSAN subscription framework under Broadcom has eleven moves. One. Anchor the Broadcom VMware framework against the customer's actual VMware utilization framework. Two. Segment the VCF subscription bundle framework across the four principal VCF bundle populations. Three. Run the vSphere subscription framework across the four principal vSphere populations. Four. Negotiate the vSAN subscription framework against the publisher's preferred broad VCF subscription bundle framework.

Five. Build a credible competitive posture across alternative virtualisation framework, alternative hyperconverged framework, and alternative cloud framework. Six. Run the broader Broadcom audit framework against the VMware framework. Seven. Negotiate the VCF subscription term framework against the publisher's preferred broad VCF subscription term framework. Eight. Run the VMware utilization framework. Nine. Lock in price protection terms. Ten. Apply the Broadcom VMware continuous optimization framework. Eleven. Run the broader Broadcom vendor management posture across the contracted VMware framework. Read the related Symantec under Broadcom CIO playbook.
