\"VMware\"[German<\/a>]Brief news that I came across last Sunday. VMware by Broadcom is shaving its partner program for the distribution of its products. The lowest level of the partner program is to be dropped – although this step does not apply to Europe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"VMware by Broadcom currently operates a four-tier channel distribution program for partners that includes Pinnacle, Premier, Select and Registered Partners. In a June 1, 2025 blog post Fueling Customer Success Through Deep Partner Collaboration<\/a>, the company announces an adjustment to its partner strategy and program.<\/p>\n

The company continues to prioritize partners who can help customers transition to a private cloud and realize the full potential of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). As a result of a comprehensive partner review, Broadcom is reducing the number of partners authorized to resell VMware solutions in the Americas, Asia Pacific and Japan regions.<\/p>\n

To enable more targeted investment and support for these remaining partners, the vendor is streamlining the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program for VMware resellers from four tiers to three: Pinnacle, Premier and Select. The Registered tier will be eliminated as the majority of business is likely to come from partners operating in the remaining three tiers, it says. For the remaining partners, however, VMware by Broadcom is raising the bar for the entire program:<\/p>\n
