ECCO has voiced significant concerns regarding Broadcom's revised partner program, advocating for several urgent measures for ethical practices in its VMware business model. They propose providing six months' notice before changing contractual terms, fearing that Broadcom is unlikely to voluntarily adjust its terms. As a result, many customers are exploring alternatives to VMware solutions, especially small to medium-sized businesses that feel restricted by current terms. Broadcom's response emphasizes its commitment to partnerships, particularly in the EU sovereign cloud service area.
"Broadcom is unlikely to make any voluntary changes to its new commercial terms. On the contrary[,] we fear it may further tighten conditions, as shown by recent moves to raise the bar for eligibility in partner programs."
"Those who could leave have mostly done so, but they are the minority. The rest are effectively locked in until credible alternative virtualization solutions, including third-party certified options like SAP, become available."
