Company profile

Broadcom designs semiconductors for networking, broadband, storage, wireless and custom AI accelerators, and sells infrastructure software including VMware Cloud Foundation, mainframe software (CA), Symantec enterprise security and Brocade. Large enterprises buy its software for private cloud and mainframe operations, while hyperscalers buy its chips. Its 2023 VMware acquisition reshaped licensing toward bundled subscriptions.
