We’re Still Your Trusted VMware Partner

The VMware landscape has shifted. In June 2025, Broadcom rolled out significant changes to the VMware Partner Program, eliminating the entire Registered tier and reducing the number of partners authorized to resell VMware solutions. This change impacts thousands of organizations that relied on partners who are no longer able to provide VMware licensing or support. 

Here’s the good news: Arraya Solutions remains a proud and authorized VMware partner. 

What Changed in the VMware Partner Program 

Broadcom collapsed VMware’s partner structure from four tiers (Registered, Select, Premier, Pinnacle) into three, eliminating the Registered tier. As of June 2, 2025, affected partners were notified that their resale authorizations were revoked, with a 60-day wind-down period to close out existing deals. 

In plain terms: many partners lost their VMware status overnight. Customers working with those partners may now face uncertainty about renewals, support, and ongoing VMware projects.

While the program changes are significant, you don’t have to worry about your VMware environment with Arraya.
