At VMware size it absolutely is.

I've worked on accounts at similarly sized vendors and even AV or Endpoint spend will be in the $1-5M range alone even if per unit price is in the $20-30 range.

With a backbone product like VMware, you can safely assume spend is 4-6x as you will be bundling network security along with IT infra.
