1. About this site
Broadcomaudits.com (the "site") publishes research, commentary, case studies, and advisory content for enterprise software buyers who hold or are negotiating licensing agreements with Broadcom Inc. and its acquired business units — VMware, Symantec Enterprise, CA Technologies, and Carbon Black. The site is operated by an independent advisory practice. It is not owned by, sponsored by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Broadcom Inc. or any of its subsidiaries.
References to Broadcom, VMware, Symantec, CA Technologies, Carbon Black, vSphere, vSAN, NSX, VCF, Horizon, and any related product or service names are made for descriptive purposes only. All such trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
2. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using broadcomaudits.com, downloading any white paper, submitting a contact form, or otherwise interacting with the site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the site.
We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page is always the current version. Material changes will be noted in the "Last updated" field above.
3. Use of content
All written content, research, white papers, blog articles, case studies, methodology descriptions, and graphics on this site are provided for general informational purposes. You are welcome to read, share, and quote our content for non-commercial purposes provided that you credit broadcomaudits.com and link back to the original page.
Republication of full articles, white papers, or substantial extracts on third-party sites, commercial platforms, or AI training datasets is not permitted without prior written consent. Automated scraping for the purpose of building competing advisory products or for training generative models is expressly prohibited.
4. Not legal, tax, or audit advice
The content published on this site does not constitute legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, or a formal audit opinion. It reflects the experience and professional opinion of the authors based on publicly available information and aggregated client engagements. Readers should obtain advice from qualified professionals before acting on any information published here.
Outcomes described in case studies are real but anonymised. They are not a guarantee of future results. Every Broadcom audit engagement is different and depends on the specific licensing agreements, deployment data, audit clauses, and commercial context of the customer involved.
5. White paper downloads and forms
To download research materials, readers are asked to provide a work email address and basic firmographic information. We use this information to deliver the requested resource, to confirm that the requester is a legitimate enterprise contact rather than a competitor or a vendor, and to send occasional follow-up communication about audit-related research.
Submissions using personal email domains (including but not limited to gmail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, outlook.com, icloud.com, aol.com, and proton.me) are filtered automatically. Please use a corporate email address.
6. Engagement requests
Submitting a contact form does not create an advisory relationship. We review every request and respond within two business days. A formal engagement begins only after a written engagement letter, scope of work, and fee schedule have been agreed in writing by both parties.
7. Third-party content and links
The site may link to third-party publications, regulatory documents, software vendor pages, or news articles. Those links are provided for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any third-party website.
8. Limitation of liability
The site is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We are not liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless broadcomaudits.com, its operators, contributors, and contractors from any claim or demand arising out of your misuse of the site or your breach of these terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising in connection with these terms is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where mandatory consumer-protection rules in your jurisdiction provide otherwise.
