We’re thrilled to share that ANS has been named VMware CSP Innovation Partner of the Year. This recognition reflects our leadership in delivering sovereign, secure, scalable, and highly automated cloud services, supported by a 200-strong accredited engineering team working directly with VMware EMEA and global product teams to bring new capability to UK organisations.
This award also highlights our focus on AI readiness. Our work to help UK businesses prepare their infrastructure for AI adoption has driven significant momentum across our private cloud portfolio. Today, we operate one of the UK’s largest VMware CSP estates as one of only six Pinnacle Partners in the country, with more than 8,000 VMs, 23,000 cores, and a fully integrated portfolio that includes eCloud VPC, Hybrid Cloud, Private Cloud, and Sovereign Cloud.
Our position as Innovation Partner of the Year also reflects our ongoing investment in bespoke automation within the eCloud VPC platform. Combined with deep engineering expertise, this allows us to deliver a cloud experience that is easy to use, flexible, and supported by clear, accessible pricing.
For partners, we make collaboration straightforward through our indirect partner programme. As an MSP, you get the reassurance that you’re working with a provider recognised for deep engineering expertise and proven success. You can tap into ready-to-use VMware infrastructure, get services to market quickly, and avoid the cost and complexity of running your own estate. We take care of the patching, monitoring, and day to day management, while our eCloud VPC platform gives you fast deployment, UK sovereign locations, and access to expert support whenever needed. It’s a simple, low friction way to extend capability and support customers with services already proven at scale. Our Broadcom Navigator is an effective way to explore the routes available and see how ANS can strengthen your customer offering.
Alongside this VMware achievement, ANS is also Microsoft UK Partner of the Year 2025. Together, these awards reflect the depth of our engineering expertise across two major ecosystems and give partners confidence in choosing a provider that’s recognised with technical excellence – no matter their cloud platform of choice.
Kyle Hill, CTO of ANS, said, “This award reflects the deliberate choices we’ve made to invest early and responsibly in the VMware ecosystem. As the platform evolves, customers and partners need clarity and confidence. Our focus has been on building the capability and governance to support that transition properly, at scale.”
