VMware LLC is an American cloud computing and virtualization technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California, USA.[2] On November 22, 2023, Broadcom acquired VMware in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at $69 billion,[3] with the End-User Computing division of VMware then sold to KKR and rebranded to Omnissa. VMware was the first commercially successful company to virtualize the x86 architecture.[4]
