Broadcom eliminated its lowest Registered partner program tier in most of the world in late 2025.

“Broadcom is reducing the number of partners authorised to resell VMware solutions in the Americas, and Asia-Pacific and Japan regions,” said Brian Moats, Broadcom’s global channel chief, in a June blog post.

“This decision will enable Broadcom to focus on deepening our relationships with those partners who are committed to delivering the transformative customer experience around VMware solutions, as demonstrated by their historical performance levels, technical and other relevant expertise, and ability to make the investments necessary to offer customers the levels of service they expect and deserve,” said Moats, senior vice president of global commercial sales and partners.

On Nov. 1, 2025, the official revamped Broadcom Advantage Partner Program was rolled out throughout most of the world.

“The only thing that we hadn’t put in place for the EMEA region was the removal of the Registered tier,” Falko said. “We did announce the removal of the Registered tier on Jan. 2, so that will go away in May.”
