Navigating Life After VCSP: A Clear Path Forward

If you’re a current VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP), you’re already aware: Broadcom’s changes are reshaping the landscape. By early 2027, most VCSP partners will be phased out of the program.

 

The question isn’t if it will affect your business, it’s how much.

  • Will you be forced to move customers to costly hyperscalers?
  • Can you continue offering competitive pricing without partner discounts?
  • How will you protect the margins you’ve spent years building?

These are valid concerns—and we’re here to help you solve them.

A Cloud Partnership Built Around Your Business

At US Signal, we’ve worked with service providers for more than 20 years. We understand that it’s not just about infrastructure—it’s about the business behind it. That’s why we designed OpenCloud to offer:

  • Margin protection that aligns with what you earn today with VCD
  • Flexible deployment models, whether you own the hardware or prefer us to manage it
  • Transparent, predictable pricing—no sudden licensing shifts
  • Hands-on support that goes beyond ticketing systems

Whether you’re asset-heavy, asset-light, or somewhere in between, OpenCloud was built to meet you where you are—and grow with you.
