VMware vSphere Foundation or VMware Cloud Foundation core subscriptions in 512-core blocks, with license and renewal management.
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, VMware software is sold as per-core subscriptions, primarily VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF). This service supplies those subscriptions in blocks of 512 physical cores, registered to your company’s own Broadcom support account, and takes the licensing administration off your team’s plate.
We inventory your hosts, count licensed cores with Broadcom’s rules (every physical CPU is licensed for at least 16 cores) and map them to the right edition, including the vSAN capacity entitlement that comes with it. We then manage license keys, the Broadcom Support Portal, renewals and compliance reporting, and we can open and follow Broadcom support cases on your behalf.
Subscriptions are subject to Broadcom’s end-user terms for VMware software. Cores can be added during the term, prorated to your renewal date, but Broadcom subscriptions generally cannot be reduced or cancelled once ordered, and Broadcom price changes may apply at renewal.
All prices in USD, per 512-core block at the 1-year rate. Pay monthly or annually — the contract value is the same. Swipe the table sideways to see every plan.

The VMware subscription for the cores in your block for one year, Broadcom production support that comes with it, and TechSpire licensing administration: procurement, key and portal management, compliance reporting and renewals. Subscriptions are subject to Broadcom’s end-user terms for VMware software.
You can add cores at any time, prorated to your renewal date so everything renews together. Broadcom subscriptions generally cannot be reduced or cancelled once the order is accepted, so reductions are planned for your renewal date. Monthly billing does not shorten the commitment.
Yes. Broadcom’s minimum order is currently 72 cores, and every physical CPU counts as at least 16 cores. For smaller environments, contact our sales team and we will quote the exact core count you need.
Your TechSpire price is fixed for each 12-month period. Broadcom has changed VMware pricing and packaging several times, and publisher price changes may apply at renewal; we start renewal planning 120 days before your term ends and notify you in writing of any change at least 30 days in advance.
