OARnet Contract #00095211 for Affordable Virtualization Solutions

VMware by Broadcom

Under the new Broadcom model, all software licenses will be purchased on a subscription basis; perpetual licenses and perpetual support will no longer be available for purchase. You may download a list of available OARnet products; however, only a formal quote can confirm the most up to date pricing. View the price list.

All new subscriptions licenses are co-termed to the OARnet contract end date of 7/30/29.  By procuring through OARnet, you are committing to paying for all purchased cores until 7/30/29.  OARnet offers flexible payment options, including annual payments, for these purchases.

As a reminder, once licenses are purchased, they are non-returnable; therefore, we encourage you to reach out to your VMware Technical Account Manager (TAM) to discuss your environment and/or Carahsoft to obtain a formal quote prior to purchase.
