9/4/2026

A stadium infrastructure overhaul at Tottenham Hotspur has cut the Premier League soccer club's virtualization licensing fees by more than 85 percent, with the organization displacing VMware at the infrastructure layer and moving server, storage, and networking capacity to Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE).

Tottenham CTO Rob Pickering confirmed the migration this week to The Register.

HPE now operates the environment as a managed service through GreenLake, the company's hybrid cloud management platform, with Broadcom's (NASDAQ: AVGO) VMware products removed from the stadium stack.

Infrastructure stack The environment is underpinned by two HPE software products Pickering named directly: Morpheus VM Essentials (VME), which handles the virtualization layer VMware previously occupied, and OpsRamp, which manages hybrid and multi-cloud operations across the environment.
