This is the best summary I could come up with:
It's unclear who or how many current partners will be able to sell VMware-related offerings after April 2024, leaving potential for tens of thousands of businesses to be disrupted.
But today’s news reportedly reveals a final closure date for the cloud services provider partner program, which debuted in 2019.
The Register noted “unconfirmed fears” that only 10 percent of the biggest VMware cloud service providers would be invited into Broadcom's partner program.
VMware has about 4,000 service provider partners, according to a January 4 report from CRN, which claimed that only 10–15 percent of them are expected to get invites into the Broadcom program, citing an unnamed source.
By altering how VMware tech is purchased, long-term customers may be forced to change critical infrastructure or work with a new, potentially much bigger, provider than they're used to.
There’s a deeper concern that Broadcom’s VMware won't prioritize smaller customers during this evolution.
