In the wake of Broadcom’s termination of VMware partner agreements, the landscape for resellers and clients is shifting. Regardless of whether you will be directly or indirectly affected by it, FishOS emerges as a reliable and cost-effective alternative for end-users. Dive into this article to explore the opportunities it provides to resellers and their customers, including our exclusive €1 migration offer.
Why This Is the Time to Re-evaluate Your Strategy
In less than two weeks, on February 4, Broadcom is terminating all VMware partner agreements. Resellers will have to reapply for the revised Broadcom Advantage Partner Program to continue offering VMware. However, the program’s criteria remain undisclosed, leaving many in uncertainty. Some sources suggest that companies generating less than $500,000 in revenue may themselves excluded, prompting the need for alternative solutions.
1. If you are below the rumoured threshold – you will certainly need to find a different solution to offer to your clients.
2. If you are above – use this situation to attract new customers.
The reduction in the number of VMware resellers on the market means the decrease of smaller companies, who might usually offer more personalized services, such as specialized technical support. End-users that rely on such services will go out to explore other options. This is exactly where you may step in with an enticing migration offer!
3. If you are above the minimum and do not need to attract new customers – offer your existing customers a reliable safe harbour.
If you do not want to secure more clients by providing a migration offer (may we ask why?), there are still your existing customers with anxiety you may want to address. Price hikes, product development cuts, and declining technical support quality are common fears, fueled by past occurrences during Broadcom’s acquisitions of CA and Symantec. These concerns, coupled with the lack of transparency, are driving many clients (including yours) to explore alternative options.
