As we continue to witness the evolution of the VMware by Broadcom acquisition, staying informed and prepared is essential to successfully navigating through this evolving situation. In this article we look at the next deadlines and the implications for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs).
You need to act now! Important deadline approaching
The clock is ticking, with the 30th of April marking a crucial deadline for CSPs operating within the VMware ecosystem. As part of the transition under the VMware by Broadcom Program Portal, several key services are set to be discontinued post 30th of April. These include:
- Cloud Partner Navigator and any usage data download
- VMware Cloud Services Provider ability to transact under the VMware Partner Connect Program
- Cloud Services Provider – SaaS Program
- VMware Partner Connect Portal and VMware Partner Locator
This deadline underscores the urgency for action. CSPs must ensure they are registered on the partner portal to avoid disruptions to their operations and access to essential services.

Feedback from some of the many CSPs we have helped to date include the following:
“We contacted Redcentric early on in our process and we had constant engagement, guiding us through the Broadcom changes, which was very reassuring. We’ve now got the vital support for our VMware estate that we need.”
“We chose Redcentric to help us to respond to the VMware licensing changes because of their agility and flexibility at a time of great uncertainty.”
“We had to act fast in order to de-risk our organisation and Redcentric were great in terms of their knowledge and keeping us well informed. They were the most prepared and agile and offered us flexibility with agreements and commercials which was greatly appreciated at a time of great uncertainty.”
Peter Seddon, Head of Partner Channel at Redcentric, commented “The integration of VMware with Broadcom presents exciting opportunities for CSPs, but it’s crucial to adapt swiftly to ensure a seamless transition. Our team is here to offer guidance and support to ensure your business remains agile and resilient in the face of change. It’s critical for business to future proof your licencing and also ensure that you are working with the right partner. Hock Tan has been clear that he wants partners to pick up the load, and at Redcentric we are equipped to do that at scale.”
