What happens when VMware vSphere 8 support ends?

VMware vSphere 8 was the last version that could be perpetually licensed which means IT buyers need to move to a Broadcom subscription with vSphere 9. Last year, Broadcom announced changes to VMware’s per-processor licensing model, which raised the minimum per server licence fee to 72-cores from 16. It also revamped product bundles for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). All of these  changes are likely to have a big impact on those organisations that need to migrate to vSphere 9. In this video, Martin Biggs, managing director of third-party support provider, speaks to Computer Weekly about the challenge vSphere 8 users now face. He says: “The move to version 9 is quite a substantial upgrade and you can't get vSphere 9 on a perpetual license because perpetual licences haven't been sold since January 2024.”
