Broadcom plans to acquire VMware for $61 billion, and they're preparing to close the deal this year. Workers in end-user computing and Carbon Black security think their units could be spun out or sold. Broadcom's upcoming $61 billion acquisition of VMware has led employees in two units — end-user computing and Carbon Black security — to speculate that their units could be spun out or sold. The EUC unit builds products such as Horizon and Workspace One that allow users to access their enterprise applications from anywhere over the cloud. After Carbon Black was acquired, it was supposed to take a year or two to get integrated with VMware.
