Spurs ditch VMware for HPE GreenLake, saving 85% on licensing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has replaced VMware with HPE GreenLake for its datacenter and network infrastructure, resulting in over 85% savings on licensing costs. The decision, led by CTO Rob Pickering, was driven by significant cost reductions and a desire to integrate AI operations into their technology stack. This move also reflects dissatisfaction with VMware's post-Broadcom acquisition licensing changes, which are perceived as less client-friendly and more focused on larger enterprises. AI

IMPACT This infrastructure refresh integrates AI operations, potentially improving efficiency for large-scale event venues.
