Tesco moving 40,000 server workloads off VMware amid Broadcom's “abusive conduct”
Summary
Tesco is moving 40,000 server workloads off VMware amid Broadcom's alleged abusive conduct, citing steep price hikes and licensing disputes after Broadcom's acquisition. The retailer has filed a UK High Court lawsuit for breach of contract and is accelerating its migration, which could complete by 2027 but introduces operational and security risks due to compatibility issues with existing backup tools and ongoing costs.
