Broadcom ‘removal’ of EMEA VMware partner tier set for May
Affected partners will see the ‘Registered’ tier of the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program disappear in just a few months time.

Affected partners will see the ‘Registered’ tier of the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program disappear in just a few months time.

CloudBolt’s study has found that VMware are still shedding customers since Broadcom’s acquisition – but are maximising value from those who remain.

VMware wanted the case to be heard in a US court, as opposed to Siemens’ preference of Germany – with the judge ruling in favour of VMware’s position.

With its end of support date peeking over the horizon, an assessment of the implications of migrating (or not) needs to be started sooner rather than later.

VMware ended their Advantage Partner Program at the end of January, with hundreds of European CSPs losing their ability to resell VMware software.

The deal lauds 64% discounts on Broadcom’s VMware portfolio – but the core vSphere platform is mysteriously absent from the agreement.

The four-way stand-off between Tesco, Dell, Computacenter and Broadcom/VMware rumbles on, with no end in sight.

VMware claim Allstate have breached a long‑standing licensing framework with a stonewalled audit request and missed reporting obligations.
