Important Partner Update: VMware White Label Offer
In late December 2023, Broadcom Inc successfully acquired VMware, leading to significant changes in the VMware product landscape, reseller and cloud hosting programs. This acquisition has resulted in a streamlined approach, with all perpetual licensing transitioning to a subscription model. Additionally, there are now new limitations on who can sell VMware licenses and host VMware workloads.
If you are a VMware Cloud Provider Program (VCPP) partner your agreement terminates on the 30th April 2024. (Your last usage period concludes on the 31st March with usage reporting in April). VCCP Partners will need to be invited into the Broadcom Advantage Program for VMware Cloud Service Providers (VSCP) or work with an invited Partner in order to be able to continue to offer a VMware cloud service after 31st March 2024.
Zettagrid has been invited as a Premier Partner into the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program for VMware Cloud Service Providers which allows us to provider a white label solution to other VMware hosting providers not invited into the program.
