The other change is providing some ongoing security patches for VMware customers who persist with their perpetual licenses instead of shifting to Broadcom's subs. "The 30 percent of the non-VMware full-stack HCI installed base that exists in 2024 will increase to 60 percent by 2029," declared a Gartner"Market Guide for Full-Stack HCI Software" published last week.
