This change has sent shockwaves across the IT ecosystem, impacting not just providers, but their end users as well. ## What’s Changing? Under this new model: - Impacted VCSPs can no longer onboard new customers after October 31, 2025. - They will also lose access to VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) licensing once their existing Broadcom contracts expire. This creates serious risks for both sides of the equation: - For VCSPs: Your VMware-based, go-to-market strategy may no longer be viable. - For End Users: Your current service provider may lose the ability to support or grow your VMware environment moving forward. ## Who Needs to Take Action? If you’re a service provider, you must evaluate alternatives and find a path forward quickly to secure the future of your VMware-based services and go-to-market models. If you’re an end user relying on a VMware service provider, you need to ask: “Will my current provider still have the tools, licensing, and roadmap to support me long-term, and if not, what are my options?” ## Expedient IS Your Path Forward Whether you’re a former VCSP navigating a program exit or an end user looking to ensure long-term VMware stability, Expedient is built to help you move forward without disruption or compromise. **Flexible Options for Providers & End Users** - VCSPs: We support a range of partner-aligned models, including referral and resale agreements, license/hardware transitions, co-managed delivery, and/or customer acquisitions. - End Users: If your current provider is impacted, we can work collaboratively with both you and them to ensure uninterrupted service and long-term continuity, without downtime, disruption, or loss of support. **VMware at Our Core** We are a Broadcom Pinnacle Partner, and most recently were recognized by Broadcom as their VCF-as-a-Service VCSP of the Year, operating one of the largest VMware-native clouds in North America: - Full VMware stack with connectivity to public clouds - Multi-tenant, private cloud and DRaaS VMware platforms - AI-ready and edge capable infrastructure - Built-in compliance and security frameworks **Seamless Execution and Support** - Fast onboarding and disruption-free migrations to Expedient - 24✗7✗365 U.S.-only based support with VMware-certified engineers - 100% availability SLA of services ## The Bottom Line This is more than a program change; these options are designed to maintain service continuity by establishing a transparent and mutually beneficial path forward under the circumstances. - For VCSPs: It’s a chance to align with a partner that’s built to support your business for the long haul, without losing control of your business or customer relationships. - For End Users: Expedient ensures you don’t get caught in the fallout, and that your VMware strategy remains stable and future-proofed. ## Let’s Move Forward Together!
