Western Union zaps VMware and moves to Nutanix

Western Union is migrating 900-1,200 applications from VMware to Nutanix as part of a broader infrastructure refresh. The move was driven by dissatisfaction with Broadcom's aggressive licensing strategy for VMware, which effectively requires customers to purchase its expensive Cloud Foundation suite. Nutanix offered superior flexibility for global workload placement and provided continuity assurances that addressed acquisition-risk concerns.
