KING OF PRUSSIA, PA —March 11, 2024— Evolve IP, a leading provider of secure, reliable hybrid workforce solutions, today announced that it has been selected to be a Premier tier VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) as part of Broadcom's exclusive Advantage Partner Program. The Broadcom Advantage Partner Program is an invitation-only program that focuses on recognizing cloud providers that deliver value-differentiated solutions, reinforcing Evolve IP’s continued commitment to the VMware partner base.
There is a significant shift in the market, driven by partners looking to move away from VMware following the Broadcom acquisition. “We empathize with existing VMware partners who are unsure how to proceed post-acquisition, and as one of the few vendors selected by Broadcom to be a Premier VMware Cloud Service Provider, we would like to provide these partners with a softer landing.” said Christian Teeft, CTO of Evolve IP.
Here are the key points from the interview with Evolve IP’s CTO, Christian Teeft:
-
Increased Interest: Evolve IP is experiencing a substantial increase in its VMware business, as Broadcom ended their perpetual licensing model and transitioned to a subscription model. This, along with the announced end of the existing VMware partner program in December, has accelerated the need for existing VMware Partners to look for alternatives.
-
Reasons for Transition: Partners who have long-loved VMware’s products, solutions, and services are frustrated with the post-acquisition announcement that the VMware Cloud Service Provider Program will abruptly come to an end on April 30, 2024. To help ease the burden to the VMware partner base, Evolve IP is offering incentives, programs, and support to help partners migrate to Evolve IP.
-
Strategic Shift: Evolve IP has adjusted its 2024 plan to focus on impacted VMware partners, providing a reliable alternative that offers a deep bench of VMware expertise, history, and strong support culture.
