Broadcom’s overhaul of VMware licensing is reshaping the channel landscape. With just one year left before the 2027 deadline hits, the window for decisive action is rapidly closing. Join ANS for a straight‑talking, vendor‑agnostic session that cuts through the noise and shows channel leaders exactly what their options are.

We’ll break down what the 2027 deadline really means, the commercial and technical paths available, and where partners are seeing both risk and opportunity. You’ll hear the real story of a UK partner who moved from an at‑risk licensing position into ANS eCloud VPC in around 12 months—achieving long‑term stability, eliminating vendor lock‑in, and protecting their customers’ hosting experience while working against the clock.

We’ll also cover practical steps to maintain seamless end‑user service and reduce the impact of VMware’s licensing changes—whether you’re exploring like‑for‑like alternatives, modernisation routes, or full platform transitions.

As Microsoft Partner of the Year 2025 and VMware’s CSP Innovation Partner of the Year, ANS is uniquely positioned to support whichever route you take. Whatever your next move, we’re the partner that helps you protect revenue, reduce risk, and plan confidently for 2027.

Secure your spot today and stay ahead of the deadline.
