Kind of. VMWare was bought by EMC back in 2004. EMC was acquired by Dell. Dell now sells VMWare to Broadcom. Not really consolidation, maybe more a spin-off this time 'round?
I read this somewhere once: “Enterprise: A collective noun for a group of companies that spend lots of money on each other”.
Broadcom’s stated goal of increasing VMware’s annual profits from $4.7 billion to $8.5 billion within three years. That sounds … ambitious. Sure you can make some savings by de-duplicating backend business operations, but it still sounds like R&D cuts or price hikes are on the way :(
