Broadcom to Review 'Strategic Alternatives' for Two VMware Units

VMware to continue as four divisions, with CEO Raghu Raghuram serving as technical advisor during transition.

Overview

Broadcom Inc. is set to review 'strategic alternatives' for two of VMware's business units, End-User Computing and Carbon Black, following its recent acquisition of the company.
VMware will continue to operate as four divisions: VMware Cloud Foundation, Tanzu, Software-Defined Edge, and Application Networking and Security.
VMware CEO Raghu Raghuram will serve as a technical advisor to Broadcom CEO Hock Tan during the transition period.
Broadcom has a history of selling off parts of companies it acquires, leading to speculation that it may spin out or sell the End-User Computing and Carbon Black units.
Following the acquisition, several top VMware executives have left and some employees were laid off.
