Broadcom detailed its new investments in its VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) division, as well as its expectations for partners playing a role in helping promote related long-term success and customer value.
In a recent blog post, it noted that it views this private cloud platform – which helps customers modernize infrastructure by deploying cloud-operating models – as a “gold standard” of sorts for private cloud.
Recent investments include:
- Adding Kubernetes-related functions to strengthen its capacity for running VMs and containers.
- Developing a beta version of VCF 9.0, with features for simplifying private cloud deployment and operation, in addition to helping clients become more innovative, efficient, resilient and secure.
- Focusing on partner involvement.
“We need our partners to help us scale and play a bigger role in not only selling, but also in deploying VCF-based private clouds and making our customers successful,” noted Broadcom VCF division SVP and GM, Krish Prasad, in the post. “That’s why for 2025 we have talked about prioritizing value-based solution providers who are truly investing in the VMware software businesses.”
Broadcom particularly plans to focus on partners adept at modernizing IT, accelerating AI adoption, strengthening cyber-resilience and delivering VCF private clouds as complete managed service offerings. To encourage this, Broadcom now offers free training and enablement services to upskill partners, invested more in partner-led services and made other program enhancements.
“If you’re already investing in helping customers accelerate VCF adoption by leading with professional services, architecture and customer success – thank you,” said Prasad. “You’re helping us build something enduring. We will continue investing in enablement, resources and opportunity to fuel your growth and success.”
