Many organisations are investing in private cloud to solve their IT challenges and deliver better business outcomes. While global research reports vary, with annual investment in private cloud expected to increase anywhere from a moderate 9% to an impressive 29%, the overall message is clear: There is unquestionably a growing appetite for private cloud, driven by businesses seeking tighter data control, stronger security and compliance, and scalable infrastructure without compromising performance or sovereignty.
Enabling VMware customers to move away from data centre silos and embrace a private cloud strategy is Broadcom’s flagship private cloud platform, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).
For customers who have chosen to make the move to VCF, undertaking this transition without external support and expertise can place additional pressures on internal IT teams who may already be over-stretched. Taking a ‘learn as you go’ approach to private cloud adoption is unlikely to deliver a return on investment quickly, and worse, can be high risk. Instead, businesses are choosing to partner with specialists, ensuring they have a savvy co-pilot to navigate them through the complexity, and ensure business goals and outcomes are achieved.
Selecting a services partner for your private cloud transformation journey can be tricky – how do you ensure you find those with proven technical expertise and the benefit of real-life experience? If it’s a specialist in VCF you’re after, then you might like to know more about the Broadcom Knights program.
What is the Broadcom Knights Program for VMware Cloud Foundation?
Selected from Broadcom’s most capable and proven partners globally, only technical vanguards who have met the most advanced training and certification requirements and have demonstrated the value they have delivered to VMware customers in the field are invited to apply to be designated a Broadcom Knight.
In October 2025, Broadcom announced that it had expanded its Knights program, welcoming a new pool of experts in VMware Cloud Foundation to the fold.
