tl;dr: Tesco is migrating 40,000 server workloads off VMware and suing Broadcom, VMware, and reseller Computacenter for at least £300 million, alleging "manifestly unfair and excessive" price hikes—reportedly 175% above expected pricing for VMware and 350% for mainframe software. Tesco rejected four Broadcom offers and is now contending with compatibility issues, as its new virtualization platform doesn't work with its existing Veeam and Zerto tools. The case is expected to reach UK court between late 2027 and early 2028, joining similar Broadcom disputes with AT&T (settled) and Siemens.
