VMware has announced that its takeover by Broadcom is going to plan and the tech giant is apparently “excited” by the virtual PC company’s partners.
VMware CEO Raghu Raghuram said the acquisition of his company by chipmaker Broadcom is “on track” and Broadcom understands its product portfolio and is looking at how to benefit from VMware’s channel partners.
Raghuram told the gathered throngs at VMware’s Explore conference in San Francisco that his company’s channel was a huge part of what it did. He insists that Broadcom are “super excited about using that channel in the ways that we are doing today and growing from there”.
“ VMware has solved customers’ problems with the help of the partners—30,000 partners strong, many of whom are on the expo floor this week. Together, we are a force to be reckoned with.”
VMware Explore gave the company a chance to announce major updates to its flagship compute and storage products with the debut of vSphere 8 and vSAN 8 as well as a new multi-cloud management offering called Aria. The company also announced expansions to its partnerships with Amazon Web Services, IBM, Microsoft and NetApp.
