As the rumor mill whispers about a breakup with AWS
VMware by Broadcom has made some fresh concessions to its cloud service provider community – and the customers who rely on it.in March, not all members of VMware's Cloud Services Provider program were invited to continue. Those dropped as VCSP members were instead offered the chance to acquire white label services from remaining participants in the program, with a tight deadline to sort out those new arrangements.
Another change means VCSP partners have an extra month to seek an exemption that will let them continue in the program, or sign up for white label services from another partner. That's not a huge amount of extra time but, again, will offer some relief to what was previously a very short deadline to make changes. Some new classes of partners are also allowed to become white label providers.Other VMware customers, however, have a new partner-related issue to worry about.
