- Broadcom is discontinuing the majority of VMware's Cloud Services Providers as part of its reorganization of partner programs, leaving customers uncertain about their IT supplier.
- The $61 billion acquisition of VMware by Broadcom in November was quickly followed by news of how it planned to restructure the business into several Broadcom divisions.
- A month later, it was revealed that Broadcom intended to end VMware's channel program, transitioning some solution providers/resellers to its own scheme on an invitation-only basis from February.
- Unconfirmed fears suggest that only ten percent of VMware's biggest CSPs will be invited to the new master program.
