- VMWARES CSP program is only invited from 1 November 2025
- Small and medium -sized partners could lose their status
- Broadcom says it presses on for simplification
Broadcom has again made changes to how VMware works, this time with the launch of a new CSP program that will only come into force from November 1, 2025.
With the change, Broadcom will significantly reduce the number of authorized CSP partners, with many small to medium-sized partners not invited.
Those who have been effectively kicked by the program were told on July 15, and although they can continue to operate normally until November, they will no longer be able to perform new business or renewals from this point forward.
As a result of the change, customers may lose existing partners need to find alternative solutions quickly, risk interruption of services, delays in renewal and support confusion.
Because customers will no longer be able to access certain cloud service providers, they could also see price increases due to reduced germination, migration and re-boarding.
The company says it makes these changes to focus on fewer, high -performance hyperscale CSPs. Broadcom has already communicated its vision of simplification, consistency and innovation and maintains that the changes it makes will support customers of all sizes.
“Departure partners are encouraged to work with authorized VCSP partners to ensure a smooth transition for customers seeking to renew a service at the end of their current period,” said Interactive -an Australian authorized VMware Cloud service provider with knowledge of the case.
Existing VMware customers are advised to confirm whether their current partner will continue to be a Broadcom partner. If not, they must identify renewal time lines and start planning to migrate accordingly. Companies affected by tremors could also consider reassessing VMWare’s role in their IT portfolio completely, which could add Broadcom’s ongoing battle with customer satisfaction.
