VMware, the virtualization and cloud infrastructure solutions vendor founded in 1998 by Berkeley, California’s Diane Greene, Mendel Rosenblum, Scott Devine, Ellen Wang, and Edouard Bugnion, was acquired by components company Broadcom in 2023 for $69 billion.
Broadcom divided it across VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), Tanzu, and Application Networking and Security (ANS) divisions.
Broadcom president and CEO Hock Tan presides over division heads Krish Prasad (VCF), Purnima Padmanabhan (Tanzu), and Umesh Mahajan (ANS). Senior vice president for global commercial sales and partners Brian Moats oversees roughly 17,400 remaining VMware partners since the lower Registered tier was jettisoned.
Pre-acquisition, VMware turned over $13bn. Distribution comprised 48% of Delaware-incorporated, Palo Alto-headquartered Broadcom’s overall 2024 net revenue.
With 37,000 employees and $30bn revenues for its fiscal 2024, infrastructure software comprised $21.5bn.
