Arrow, once again, has been recognized as an official distribution partner of VMware by Broadcom. This distinction highlights the strong relationship between both companies and the expertise of Arrow’s dedicated team in VMware solutions.
VMware by Broadcom has significantly streamlined its product portfolio, focusing on two main offerings within the VMware Cloud Foundation division: VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere Foundation, along with their add-ons.
VMware Cloud Foundation is a top-tier hybrid cloud solution designed for large and midsize enterprises, focused on efficiently managing critical enterprise applications and modern software services. Among its benefits are improved security and resilience, reduced operational costs, and support for high service levels.
On the other hand, VMware vSphere Foundation is a simplified, secure, and resilient enterprise workload platform aimed at small and midsize businesses (SMBs). This new offering provides a range of advantages, such as optimizing the data center, improving operational efficiency, enabling faster innovation for DevOps, increased visibility and insights, and optimized workload performance. Additionally, the vSphere Standard and vSphere Essentials plus kits are available with lighter requirements.
Both VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere Foundation offer optional advanced complementary solutions to help customers address specific business goals. These options include VMware vSAN, VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery, and VMware Cloud ransomware recovery.
Changes in VMware by Broadcom’s product portfolio offer significant benefits for partners. They can increase their revenue by transforming VMware renewal install base into higher value subscription-based offerings for both existing and new deployments. Additionally, partners have the opportunity to grow their portfolio share by promoting attractive complementary products such as vSAN and VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery. Lastly, partners can improve their profitability through higher initial margins and more opportunities to promote their value-added services for new offerings and complementary solutions.
In this dynamic landscape, the strategic alliance between Arrow and VMware by Broadcom is further strengthened. Arrow continues to be an unwavering partner, providing support and guidance to its clients through these changes, helping them capitalize on new business opportunities.
To thrive in this new era, Arrow invites its customers to reach out to their local team. Whether to address questions about the product portfolio, partner program, or how to maintain their business growth trajectory, Arrow is there to provide all the necessary support.
The renewed collaboration between Arrow and VMware by Broadcom promises a bright future for both companies and their customers. With a streamlined and optimized product portfolio, advanced complementary solutions, and the backing of an expert team, Arrow’s partners are well-positioned to make the most of the opportunities offered by VMware by Broadcom technology and take their businesses to the next level.
