VMWARE RENEWAL ECONOMICS HAVE CHANGED
+26%
FY25 vs FY24
Broadcom Infrastructure Software
$27.0B
Broadcom infrastructure software revenue rose from $21.5B in FY24 to $27.0B in FY25. The segment includes VMware/private cloud alongside Broadcom’s other infrastructure software businesses; Broadcom does not separately disclose VMware-only revenue.
WHY IT MATTERS
VMware costs can be reduced—even when the platform remains part of the architecture. LogiCloudiQ Engineering pressure-tests footprint, core requirements, workload portability, renewal structure and alternative landing zones to find where cost can come out without creating unnecessary migration risk.

Worldwide Public Cloud Services
$1.03T
Gartner forecasts worldwide public cloud services revenue to grow 20.9% in 2026 to approximately $1.03 trillion.
WHY IT MATTERS
Cloud cost can be brought back down. LogiCloudiQ Engineering models workload placement, utilization, architecture, data movement, egress and network paths to identify where consumption can be compressed—and where workloads may be more economical outside the hyperscaler.

Worldwide Ethernet Switch Market
$55.1B
IDC reported worldwide Ethernet switch revenue of $55.1B in 2025, up 31.5% year over year. The datacenter segment grew 53.5% to $32.5B, driven heavily by AI infrastructure demand.
WHY IT MATTERS
Network can now be a savings lever, not just a connectivity expense. LogiCloudiQ Engineering evaluates traffic paths, private connectivity, NaaS, inter-cloud architecture and egress to reduce network cost while also attacking the cloud charges the network can create.

FY26 vs FY25
Microsoft Cloud Revenue
$214.4B
Microsoft Cloud revenue reached $214.4B in FY26, up 27% year over year. Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 41% for the full fiscal year.
WHY IT MATTERS
Microsoft spend can be optimized beyond license negotiation. LogiCloudiQ Engineering connects licensing, Azure consumption, infrastructure dependencies, user requirements and workload placement to identify savings across the Microsoft estate—not just a lower price on the same agreement.

Worldwide AI Spending
$2.59T
Gartner forecasts worldwide AI spending to reach $2.59T in 2026, up 47% year over year. AI infrastructure is expected to represent more than 45% of that spending.
WHY IT MATTERS
AI does not have to become an uncontrolled new layer of spend. LogiCloudiQ Engineering models tools, models, compute, cloud, data, network and governance together to control consumption, eliminate unnecessary overlap and build an AI architecture the enterprise can scale economically.

The bigger opportunity is around the renewal
Your VMware renewal cost is the fever. It’s not the whole problem.
The renewal exposes the symptom. Workload placement, cloud consumption, network, egress, security and Microsoft economics may be driving the larger infrastructure cost problem.

“Business value drives technology decisions.”— FinOps Foundation
The renewal is one decision. The economics extend across the infrastructure.
Illustrative annualized example based on the stated environment: VMware $290K → $230K; network $18K/mo → $15K/mo; egress $30K/mo → $15K/mo; security consolidation saves $45K/yr; Microsoft licensing $30 → $25 for 550 users. AI tooling assumes 200 paid AI seats at $30/user/mo rationalized to 120 seats ($28.8K/yr savings) plus token/API consumption reduced from $4K/mo to $2.5K/mo ($18K/yr savings), for $46.8K (~$47K) annual AI savings. Security baseline spend was not provided, so no total-infrastructure percentage reduction is claimed.
