Tech Sessions

In this episode of the tech session podcast, 'Modern Infrastructure edition', hosted by Christian Rolland, SVP of the modern infrastructure group at e360, and guest Devon Arsenault, a Principal Architect at e360, the discussion focuses on the significant shifts within the IT landscape following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware in 2023. The podcast covers the transition of VMware to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, discontinuation of its perpetual licensing, and how these changes impact customers and the broader IT infrastructure landscape. The hosts delve into strategies for IT professionals to navigate these changes, including evaluating workloads, considering migration options, and understanding the implications for data center operations and planning. The episode was recorded in April 2024 amidst ongoing developments, such as regulatory scrutiny of the acquisition and continued support for some VMware perpetual licenses.
