State of Systems: Episode 3
Joe Baguley, EMEA CTO at Broadcom, joins us in the State of Systems studio and doesn’t dodge a single question. From the origins of VMware to the chaos and commentary surrounding Broadcom’s takeover, we talk honestly about what’s changing, what’s not, and what’s coming next.
We ask about Hock Tan – Broadcom’s famously high-paid CEO, and why this deal rattled so many cages in the tech world. Joe breaks down the noise, talks VCF 9, and explains why private cloud is very much alive.
It’s direct. It’s sharp. And if you care about infrastructure, this one’s worth your time.
