US Signal and 11:11 Systems talk about how small cloud providers can respond to Broadcom’s latest VCSP restructuring move.
When Broadcom’s $61 billion VMware acquisition closed in late 2023, industry watchers predicted sweeping changes. They were right – even though even seasoned insiders didn’t foresee just how disruptive Broadcom’s restructuring of the VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) program would be for smaller partners.
This summer, Broadcom has again slashed the list of authorized VCSP participants, narrowing the program to a smaller set of high-volume, high-revenue partners. The move has left scores of smaller cloud providers scrambling to maintain their VMware-based services – or risk losing customers outright.
