VMware has
changed the rules.
We help organisations like yours reduce your risk and get control of your VMware hosting costs.
As 1 of only 4 VMware by Broadcom Authorised Cloud Provider Partners in Australia, we help impacted organisations assess their current environment, optimise what they have, transition to new platforms or plan a clear VMware replacement roadmap.
If you’re an impacted MSP that’s lost the ability to support your VMware customers following Broadcom VMware changes, click here to see how we can help.
The context
What’s changed?
The Broadcom VMware acquisition has turned VMware upside down. Licensing costs are up 300-600%. Support contracts have been cancelled. Most MSPs have lost their VMware partner status. And businesses are stuck in the middle wondering what happens next.
If you’re an organisation dealing with VMware cost shocks or uncertainty around VMware hosting, we have a straightforward solution.
As 1 of only 4 VMware by Broadcom Pinnacle Partners in Australia, we help you navigate this transition with ease.
The challenge
What this means for you.
If you currently rely on a VMware partner who hasn’t been invited to remain with Broadcom’s invite-only VCSP program, you could soon face a range of challenges, from disrupted renewals and support gaps to cost surprises during migrations or forced VMware replacement decisions.
This means that you may not be able to renew your current contract after April 2027 and you must find a new provider or VMware hosting solution to remain operational. You’re facing:
- The inability to renew your current VMware footprint beyond March 2027.
- Potential loss of technical support continuity.
- Higher costs due to Partner Recommended or VMware replacement migration overheads.
- Uncertainty during renewals or SLA rollovers.
From April 2027, you cannot purchase any Broadcom VMware powered Private Cloud from your existing (retired) MSP if they have been exited by Broadcom.
At Macquarie Cloud Services, we’re different.
