Topgolf reportedly saved over $11.3 million during its move away from VMware

Ars Technica reports that Topgolf moved 12,000 virtual machines to VergeOS after its VMware costs were set to rise 400 percent. Topgolf infrastructure manager Scott Forehand said the company reduced or eliminated over $11.3 million in combined infrastructure costs, before adjustments to market hardware costs. Software costs fell 77 percent, though 20 venues still ran VMware’s VxRail stack.
