Navigating change with VMware

The VMware ecosystem is undergoing a major transformation...again. With Broadcom’s recent updates to the VMware Partner Program—including the consolidation of tiers and removal of more registered resellers—many IT leaders are left wondering what comes next.

If your partner has lost their status or you're unsure how these changes impact your roadmap, you're not alone.

At Flexential, we’re here to help you navigate that uncertainty. As a Pinnacle-level VMware Cloud Service Provider—the highest tier available—we continue to provide the stability, technical expertise, support, and strategic guidance that our customers need during times of transition.

What’s changing—and why it matters

Broadcom’s shift to a streamlined, performance-driven VMware partner model means:

  • Fewer partners are authorized to sell and support VMware solutions
  • Licensing structures and renewal processes are changing
  • Many businesses are discovering that their current partners are no longer eligible to guide them

This is a pivotal moment for organizations that rely on VMware infrastructure—and for those evaluating whether it still fits their long-term cloud strategy.

What doesn’t change: The Flexential commitment to you

As a VMware Pinnacle Partner, Flexential is:

  • Actively aligned with Broadcom and VMware’s strategic direction
  • Equipped with VMware-certified cloud architects and engineers
  • Built for hybrid and multi-cloud—not locked into a one-size-fits-all model
  • Backed by a U.S.-based, 24/7 support team committed to responsive, expert guidance whenever you need it

Whether you plan to stay with VMware, migrate to a new platform, or create a hybrid approach that gives you more control, our team will help you get there with clarity and confidence.
