OTAVA Secures Spot in Broadcom’s Newly Unveiled Partner Program

Press & News

Let’s start with the big news first. Broadcom invited OTAVA into the Broadcom Advantage VCSP Premier Partner Program. What does that mean? As a top-500 partner, OTAVA will continue to provide VMware licenses to enterprise and channel customers. We’ll have access to discount pricing and support for customers that want to leverage VMware Cloud Foundation. 

How to Navigate the VMware Licensing Chaos 

Don’t worry – we’ve got you. 

Change. It’s that uncomfortable guest at your dinner party who decides to stay way past dessert. Whether it’s ditching your go-to coffee spot for something new or taking a different job, change nudges us out of our comfort zones. And, when it comes to tech? Well, let’s just say it’s more like a shove. Recent shifts in the tech landscape, like the massive updates to VMware licensing by Broadcom, have left many scratching their heads, wondering, “What now?” 

Here’s the scoop: The old way of buying VMware licenses? History. Broadcom’s changing the game, pushing towards subscription models and leaving perpetual licenses in the dust. This has thrown a wrench in the plans for businesses at every stage of their modernization journey, sparking a mix of shock, worry, and a dash of “exit-stage-left” vibes among many. 

But, here’s where OTAVA steps in, like the cool, knowledgeable friend you call at 2 AM. We’ve seen it all and helped businesses navigate through tech upheavals with finesse. Why? Because when it comes to secure & compliant multi-cloud platforms, we’re not just playing the game. We’re ahead of it. 

 

So, What Exactly Has Changed? 

Let’s break it down. 

  • You will no longer be able to buy perpetual VMware licenses. 
  • Broadcom terminated OEM agreements and plans to create new agreements with more OEMs moving forward. 
  • Any customer that wants to buy new VMware licenses will have to buy subscription-based licenses. 
  • Your current VMware support contract will eventually run out, and when that happens, they’ll want to talk about moving you to a subscription-based contract. 
  • OTAVA can serve enterprise customers and other partners through our Premier Partner status.
