VMware
Neoh and Montenegro said VMware is among top contenders. Chipmaker Broadcom is bolstering its software practice with its massive acquisition of VMware. Broadcom will buy all outstanding VMware shares in a stock-and-cash transaction totaling approximately $61 billion. The deal expands the depth of critical infrastructure solutions both companies can provide to enterprise customers. Leading shareholder Michael Dell, who owns slightly more than 40% of VMware shares, called the deal a “landmark moment for VMware.”
