Tottenham Hotspur ditches VMWare in favor of HPE — cuts licensing costs by 85 percent
By moving its virtualization bill from VMware to HPE, Tottenham just saved 85%. It's also investing in other HPE tech.
Tottenham Hotspur has announced plans to migrate away from VMware and switch to HPE, resulting in an 85% reduction in virtualization costs. CTO Rob Pickering attributes the decision largely to changes following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware. The stadium is undergoing a broader HPE upgrade, including a shift in server, storage and networking infrastructure, all to HPE.
Tottenham's migration is part of a larger data center and networking refresh. The club did not disclose the exact amount they paid for VMware products, but Pickering emphasized the significant savings.
