  • In the transition period, non-invited VCSP partners received non-renewal notices on July 15, 2025, and they may continue operating until October 31, 2025.

  • Effective November 1, 2025, the updated program reassures customers that Interactive remains an Authorised VCSP partner under the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program, while Broadcom unveils a private compute vision based on VMware Cloud Foundation 9.
