Après le rachat de VMware par Broadcom, VMware a atteint une nouvelle étape dans son parcours en annonçant la rationalisation et la simplification de son portefeuille, tout en opérant la transition d’un modèle de licence perpétuelle à un modèle d’abonnement.

Dans ce cadre, les produits listés ci-dessous sont désormais en fin de disponibilité (End Of Availability) en tant qu’offres autonomes.

Certaines offres peuvent encore être disponibles à la consommation dans le cadre des offres VMware Cloud Foundation ou VMware vSphere Foundation.

VMware annonce également la fin de disponibilité (EoA) des services SaaS Aria et vSphere+. L’entreprise précise qu’elle continuera à prendre en charge les clients utilisant actuellement les services SaaS Aria jusqu’à la fin de leur période d’abonnement. À l’issue de cette période, les clients devront migrer vers VCF ou VVF.

Il est également à noter que les services SaaS Aria seront désormais en mode maintenance, ce qui signifie qu’aucune nouvelle fonctionnalité ne sera publiée, mais que des mises à jour de sécurité et des mises à jour critiques seront fournies pendant la période d’abonnement active.
