Quick Answer
What Is VMware?
VMware is the global pioneer in server virtualization, hybrid cloud platforms, and software-defined data centers (SDDC). Its platform lets organizations run multiple virtual machines on a single physical server, centralize IT management, and build flexible infrastructure across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments — reducing hardware costs while improving performance, security, and uptime.
We support UAE businesses in deploying and managing VMware technologies to build scalable, efficient, and fully optimized digital infrastructures, backed by our wider IT infrastructure services.
Licensing Changes
VMware Licensing Has Changed — Here’s What It Means for Your Business
Since Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, licensing has moved from perpetual, per-CPU purchases to a subscription-only, per-core model with bundled products. This has caught many organizations off guard at renewal time.
Subscription-Only
Perpetual VMware licenses are no longer sold — all new purchases and most renewals are subscription-based.
16-Core Minimum
Licensing is now calculated per physical CPU core, with a minimum of 16 cores licensed per processor.
Bundled Products
Individual products like standalone vSphere are largely replaced by bundled bundles such as VMware Cloud Foundation.
If your renewal quote looks dramatically different from your last contract, you’re not alone — this is the new standard pricing structure, not a quote error. Net Desire Technologies helps UAE businesses audit their current VMware footprint, understand exactly what the new bundles include, and get the most cost-effective licensing path for their environment.

Questions
FAQ’s
How much do VMware licenses cost in the UAE?
VMware is now licensed on a subscription basis, priced per physical CPU core with a 16-core minimum per processor, and sold in bundles rather than as standalone products. The exact cost depends on your core count, chosen bundle, and support tier — we provide a clear, itemized quote after reviewing your environment.
What happened to VMware perpetual licenses?
Perpetual VMware licenses are no longer sold. Since the change in ownership, all new purchases are subscription-only, and most organizations renewing existing perpetual licenses are moved onto the new subscription model at renewal.
What is VMware used for?
VMware is used to virtualize physical servers, run virtual desktops, build software-defined data centers, and manage hybrid or multi-cloud infrastructure from a single platform — reducing hardware costs while improving flexibility and uptime.
What's the difference between VMware vSphere and vCenter Server?
vSphere is the core virtualization platform that turns physical servers into virtual machines. vCenter Server is the centralized management layer on top of it, used to monitor, control, and administer your entire virtual environment from one console.
Can you help if our VMware renewal quote suddenly increased?
Yes. This is common under the new licensing model. We review your current footprint, explain exactly what changed in your quote, and help you find the most cost-effective path forward, whether that's optimizing your existing VMware setup or evaluating alternatives.
Do you provide VMware support after deployment?
Yes, we provide 24/7 technical support with optional Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), covering monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing optimization after go-live.
