Overview

Broadcom VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) is a program that allows partners to offer managed cloud services to customers by providing:

• Sovereign cloud services that support data residency
• Compliance certifications
• Expertise in local regulations
• Strong security measures
• Transparency and control over data handling 

How it Works

Broadcom VCSPs offer a subscription-based private cloud platform called VMware Cloud Foundation.  Customers can benefit from the scalability and agility of a public cloud, along with the security and performance of a private cloud. 

Program Tiers

Broadcom VCSPs are divided into tiers, including: 

• VCSP Premier Partners - Have highly-developed VMware practices and a consistent track record of delivering customer satisfaction
• VCSP Registered Partners - Achieve the minimum requirements for the program 

Partner Onboarding Process

• The customer partner signs a sales order with Evolve IP
• A kick-off call is scheduled:
  
  • Evolve IP provides a presentation to the customerpartner
  • The customer partner provides Evolve IP a list of software and keys needed for their environment
  • Evolve IP verifies the customerpartner's core count (total ESXi core count shown in all vCenter servers)
  • The customer partner tears down old usage meters (if present)
  • Evolve IP provides the steps to install new instances of Usage Meter v4.8
• Using the steps provided by Evolve IP, the customer partner installs an instance of Usage Meter in their environment
• During the installation, the customer partner provides the UUID from the Usage Meter installation process, and waits for Evolve IP to perform the Broadcom registration
• Evolve IP uses the UUID to register the instance of Usage Meter in the Broadcom portal
• Once registered, the customer partner finishes the Usage Meter install
• The customer partner adds all vCenter servers to their instance of Usage Meter
• Evolve IP generates keys and provides them to the customer partner along with any software downloads
• The customer partner swaps their keys and notifies Evolve IP when completed
