What Is Broadcom Saying?
Effective November 1, 2025, VCSPs no longer in the program:
- Cannot onboard new customers
- Lose access to VCF licensing once their existing Broadcom contracts expire
Read the essential takeaways from the Broadcom VCSP FAQs →
Broadcom’s changes have reduced the number of authorized VMware Cloud Service Providers (VCSPs) in the US from nearly a thousand to only a handful.
If your current provider didn’t make the cut, they’ve lost their ability to license, support, or even host your VMware environments – period.*
If you’re hearing “don’t worry, it’s business as usual,” you’re probably not getting the whole truth.
This isn’t a drill: Your business, strategy, compliance, and security are at risk unless you act.
Don’t let unauthorized providers put your business at risk.
