Small clouds out as VMware again changes partner program
Briefly

VMware is ending its current channel program, transitioning to an invitation-only model effective July 15, 2025, which will considerably reduce the number of authorized partners. Non-invited partners can continue to transact until October 31, 2025, servicing only existing contracts afterward. The program’s changes also include the termination of the White Label model by the same date. VMware's vision is shifting towards a hyperscale private compute framework, relying on select partners for managed infrastructure to meet customer demands.
