Broadcom Could Acquire VMware for $60 Billion +====== +Broadcom’s interested to acquire VMware for $60 billion, making it one of the biggest tech deals in 2022. + +![broadcom][1] + +Broadcom, a semiconductor chip company, is infamous among desktop Linux users for the incompatibility issues with its wireless adapter/card and drivers. + +And, it is now planning to get into the cloud computing market by acquiring one of the biggest players in the industry, i.e., **VMware**. + +VMware is not an open-source company, but it offers some open-source tools and Linux support for its virtualization software. + +In this case, **The Wall Street Journal** [reports][2] that Broadcom and VMware can potentially announce this acquisition later this week on Thursday. + +### Broadcom to Enter the Cloud Computing Market + +[Broadcom][3] should be a familiar name to Linux users when we talk about wireless network chips and their drivers. + +And, with the $60 billion deal for [VMware][4], they could expand their take on the industry through VMware’s reach in the cloud computing sector. + +So, their decision also influences the talk about the acquisition by Broadcom. + +Hence, it is safe to say that the deal may or may not go through if the discussions fall apart. + +And, for the payment to succeed, the report also mentions that Broadcom plans to take help of banks for a $40 billion debt package. + +Considering that the report mentions the final price is still up for discussion, the $60 billion value can change (but something around it). + +### Wrapping Up + +You can keep an eye on VMware’s shares and Broadcom Inc if you are someone who is interested in getting involved in the market. + +What do you think about Broadcom acquiring VMware? Do you think it’s going to go through with Dell involved with a major stake in the company?
