Look, what are the virt products out there that can be upped to VMWare levels? There's lots of stuff in open source.
This isn't a ground zero thing. There's probably 1,000 companies that use VMWare like capabilities, and you simply need to fund a group to bring FOSS to the level of VMWare.
Broadcom doing the acquisition gives you a bit of runway. You probably have a year or two before things get really bad. There's probably going to be VMWare engineers that hate the acquisition and will run to a foundation to make a competing/better FOSS equivalent. VirtualBox is a toy and owned by oracle. Well, it's open source too, right? Get something up that is Oracle-free and up to snuff.
Corporations are so stupid at IT. It really shows that basic IT management is an afterthought in B-School, when it is arguably more important than accounting and finance tricks in the long run.
At least the CEOs bragging about not even reading email have been dinosaured.
