By consolidating the VMware portfolio into one private cloud solution, Broadcom is simplifying complexity, accelerating innovation, and ensuring customers can run workloads consistently across on-premises, edge, and cloud.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deliver this vision, Broadcom has narrowed its service provider ecosystem. Only a select group of <strong>Pinnacle and Premier partners,<\/strong> including OTAVA, remain authorized to deliver VMware services going forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"798\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.otava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OTAVA-VCF-Badges.png\" alt=\"OTAVA VCF\" class=\"wp-image-22411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.otava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OTAVA-VCF-Badges.png 798w, https:\/\/www.otava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OTAVA-VCF-Badges-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.otava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OTAVA-VCF-Badges-768x289.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_This_Means_for_Customers_and_Partners\"><\/span><strong>What This Means for Customers and Partners<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_VCF_as_the_Standard_Platform\"><\/span><strong>1.
