• Customers benefit from services worldwide
  

BONN, Germany and PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Systems and Broadcom have expanded their nearly 20-year long collaboration. T-Systems is now a VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) Pinnacle tier partner, the highest and most strategic level in the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program. Pinnacle partners such as T-Systems are Broadcom’s most invested and strategic partners, with extensive certifications, a track record of significant sales and service achievements, and broad international coverage. Holding Pinnacle status signifies a partner's deep technological know-how and proficiency, and Pinnacle partners work closely with Broadcom to help customers solve complex challenges and adopt advanced digital technologies.

VMware Cloud Foundation: Private cloud as a service from T-Systems
Moving forward, T-Systems will support customers' innovation by offering managed private cloud services, including sovereign cloud services, based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). The VCF private cloud platform helps organizations modernize infrastructure with outstanding TCO, delivers a frictionless cloud experience, and provides enterprise-grade resiliency and security. T-Systems will offer VCF-based services globally, helping customers reach their full potential and allowing them to benefit from long-term stability in the provisioning of cloud infrastructure.

White Label – Services under your own brand
As a Pinnacle Partner, T-Systems also supports the VCSP White Label model. This enables T-Systems to provide VCSP Registered tier partners with licenses, support, and optional hosting services. These partners can then offer the services under their own brand and thus integrate VMware products into their portfolio.

“The partnership with Broadcom is an important component of our multi-cloud strategy. Complemented by our Hyperscaler solutions, we can provide our customers exactly what they need. Always and worldwide,” says Ferri Abolhassan, CEO of T-Systems and board member of Deutsche Telekom.

“Broadcom will continue its close collaboration with T-Systems, one of our most valued partners, to accelerate our mutual customers’ infrastructure modernization, AI adoption, and cyber resilience while also supporting their needs with sovereign cloud services that enable data residency and other jurisdictional controls,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc.
