PALO ALTO, Calif. (February 14, 2024) – Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) and Google
Cloud today announced plans to support license portability of VMware Cloud
Foundation to Google Cloud VMware Engine. Customers will be able to purchase
subscriptions of the new VMware Cloud Foundation software from Broadcom and
flexibly use those subscriptions in Google Cloud VMware Engine, as well as their
own on-prem data centers. Customers will retain the rights to the software
subscription when deploying VMware Cloud Foundation on Google Cloud VMware
Engine and have the ability to move their subscription between supported
environments as desired.

VMware Cloud Foundation delivers a private cloud infrastructure that is
ubiquitous, flexible and integrated across cloud endpoints. VMware customers
that have already purchased and begun deploying VMware Cloud Foundation will be
able to transfer the remaining value of an existing subscription to Google Cloud
VMware Engine. Additionally, customers will be able to move their VMware Cloud
Foundation subscription between on-prem and Google Cloud VMware Engine (and vice
versa) as their needs and requirements evolve over time. In addition to bringing
their own VMware Cloud Foundation licenses to Google Cloud VMware Engine,
customers will continue to have the option to purchase a fully-integrated Google
Cloud VMware Engine environment inclusive of VMware Cloud Foundation software
directly from Google Cloud.

“VMware by Broadcom is adding new levels of flexibility, investment protection
and lower TCO for VMware Cloud Foundation with support for license portability,”
said Krish Prasad, general manager, VMware Cloud Foundation division, Broadcom.
“By running VMware Cloud Foundation on Google Cloud VMware Engine, customers
benefit from a highly efficient cloud operating model that provides the scale
and agility of public cloud with the security and performance of private cloud.”

“As the first public cloud partner to announce plans to support VMware Cloud
Foundation license portability , Google Cloud remains committed to improving the
simplicity and cost-effectiveness of our customers’ cloud migration and digital
transformation initiatives,” said Mark Lohmeyer, vice president and general
manager, Compute and ML Infrastructure at Google Cloud. “Through this model, our
customers can realize the unique benefits of Google Cloud VMware Engine, such as
four 9’s cluster-level uptime, deeply integrated networking and a unified Google
experience along with the full portfolio of Google Cloud services across AI/ML,
data analytics, security, and more.”

With VMware Cloud Foundation on Google Cloud VMware Engine, customers will be
able to:

 * Simplify infrastructure: seamlessly migrate virtual machines and workloads to
   Google Cloud  and deeply integrate with Google's powerful networking
   architecture.
 * Streamline operations: manage cloud-based resources using the same familiar
   VMware tools and resources, while also accessing native containerized
   applications; and benefit from a simple and unified Google Cloud experience,
   with integrated IAM and rapid self-service provisioning.
 * Improve economics: increase capacity with lower OPEX by scaling workloads
   into Google Cloud Platform and paying only for resources as they are utilized
   and improve TCO by reducing capital equipment expenses and installation
   costs.
 * Unlock insights: convert data into intelligent insights by utilizing Google
   Cloud services with Google Cloud VMware Engine, such as BigQuery, AI, and
   Machine Learning (ML) applications.
 * Improve reliability and security: leverage industry-leading security with
   VMware NSX and Google Cloud, including private high-speed networking and
   dedicated cluster design, and enterprise-grade availability with 99.99%
   uptime and 100Gbps of dedicated east-west connectivity.

Broadcom and Google Cloud expect VMware Cloud Foundation license portability to
Google Cloud VMware Engine to be available publicly in the second quarter of
calendar year 2024.
