- Nutanix claims approximately 30,000 customers have migrated from VMware, citing dissatisfaction with Broadcom's post-acquisition strategies.
- Key drivers for migration include increased costs, forced product bundling, end of perpetual licenses, and reduced ease of collaboration after Broadcom streamlined channel partners.
- Broadcom's focus has shifted VMware's target market primarily towards enterprises, making it less viable for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
- Nutanix reports strong mid-market adoption from VMware, with recent quarters seeing the highest new customer additions in eight years, including notable migrations like Western Union moving hundreds of applications.
- Western Union's six-month migration from VMware to Nutanix involves transitioning 900-1,200 applications across 3,900 cores, motivated by a desire for more customer-focused IT partnerships.
