Broadcom VMware Audit Defense
Avoid the post-acquisition licensing trap. Optimize cores and sockets in 48 hours.
Broadcom's post-acquisition shift of VMware licensing to subscription-only cores has triggered a wave of audits. Mima agentlessly maps your actual CPU count, socket allocation, and core density against your license agreement in under 24 hours. You can take corrective action to optimize software layouts before a formal audit is initiated.
Mima computes optimal socket-to-core ratios and highlights over-provisioned VMs. This continuous optimization gives you the mathematical proof to safely downsize clusters, prune idle instances, and negotiate renewal terms from a position of cryptographic fact, not vendor guesswork.
Typical Flexera One implementations run roughly 4–12 weeks for standard scope, extending further for large or complex estates. Mima's integration-first setup is built to produce initial findings in the first 24 hours.
