I admit to not understanding or caring about the full scope of Computershare’s business (side note: that’s a dumbass name), but having been forced to suffer their software when working for a former company, it boggles my mind that they need 24,000 VMWare VMs, in addition to a bunch of Nutanix VMs.

It was a very reasonable name in 1978 when they started, as they provide stock and share services for companies via computers - something uncommon in that time.

A lot might be staff 'desktops' - some companies run thinclients and run the desktops in VMs. Easier to reinstall them when staff screwup.

Their whole business is based on computer sharing. There's a lot of microservices to make it happen.

Their business is providing stock transfer and related services to corporations, not computer sharing.
