VMware is killing off 56 products amid “tectonic” infrastructure shift

Broadcom's brutal assault on VMware's product suite continues, with the company's new owner this week confirming that it is sunsetting a massive 56 VMware products and platforms - as investors said this week that they anticipated a tectonic shift" in the infrastructure market as a result.
