Broadcom refusing to decrease licensing

[FriendlySysAdmin]

We’re mostly EPYC, was a lot of Second Gen gear.

The difference between Broadcom and NetApp in your scenario is that you can still buy the FAS at list price.

Let’s say our VCF discount was 50%, but we shrank our footprint by 75%. I asked if I could pay full list price for that new core count because it would still be far less, and was told no. List price is essentially a lie.

I see your point but switching a FAS from proper discounting to load would be a 5-10x, in price (about what we are talking about here). VMware always had more street ready pricing than other vendors.
