Tesco moves 40,000 workloads off VMware over Broadcom conduct

Tesco is moving 40,000 server workloads off VMware, alleging Broadcom's abusive conduct after the acquisition. The UK retailer filed a High Court lawsuit claiming Broadcom refused to honor existing perpetual license and support agreements, instead demanding excessive prices for duplicative subscriptions. Tesco has been paying for third-party support since Broadcom stopped supporting its VMware products in January.
