Continue using VMware Cloud Foundation: evoila supports service providers with VCF licenses, hardware and platform operations. In your existing data center, with clear planning and flexible scalability.

Are you currently a VMware Cloud Service Provider and unsure what the latest changes mean for your business? Many partners want to safeguard their existing business while remaining able to act.

evoila supports exactly that. Our role as a trusted partner is also reflected in the latest VMware by Broadcom awards: in 2025, evoila was recognized as Global President’s Choice Partner and EMEA VMware Cloud Service Provider Partner of the Year.

The current situation

The transition to VCSP 2.0 raises specific questions for many service providers: What happens to existing contracts? Which requirements will apply in future? How can customers continue to be supported? And how can your VMware business remain viable?

Without the right adjustments, significant restrictions may arise. These can include an inability to add new customers or projects, limited overage options and higher minimum commitments.

With evoila, you have a structured path to continue using VMware Cloud Foundation and put your service provider business on a stable footing.

You have not yet received a termination notice

If you have not yet received a termination notice, now is the right time to review your options. Together with evoila, you can assess how your current VMware business can continue and which steps are required for a viable target model.
This is not only about licenses. The right platform, hardware, operating model, customer requirements and future services all need to work together.

You have already received a termination notice

If you have already received a termination notice, clarity is needed quickly. evoila supports you in assessing your current situation and defining a structured migration path.
The focus is on your core requirements, existing customers, technical environment, hardware, operating model and the transition to a new platform foundation based on VMware Cloud Foundation.

VCSP termination? Timeline and opportunities explained

Your VCF platform, licensed and operated by evoila

VMware Cloud Foundation from a single source. Licenses, hardware and platform operations delivered by evoila – in your data center.

What you get

VCF licenses via evoila

You use the platform – we manage the licensing. A German-language agreement and a single point of contact.

Hardware in your data center

We take over your existing estate or provide new systems for your data center. evoila retains ownership and manages lifecycle and refresh throughout the full term.

Flexible licensing

You meet the minimum commitment and can scale in either direction – in agreed increments rather than annual blocks.

Clarity for three to five years

One agreement. One budget. One partner.

Pricing certainty throughout the term

Broadcom pricing changes affect us, not you.

Three layers, one operating model

The model combines VCF licenses, hardware and platform operations in one clear structure. evoila covers the minimum commitment, while you can scale in agreed increments.

  • AI platform / LLMaaS – inference endpoints for open-weight models such as Llama, Mistral and Mixtral on your GPU pool
  • RAG as a Service – embedding pipelines, vector store, re-ranker and evaluation suite, fully integrated
  • Fine-tuning with your data – your data remains in your data center
  • AI governance – model cards, bias and drift testing, and support for EU AI Act documentation in regulated industries
  • AI architecture consulting from our Big Data Practice – independent of hyperscaler bias

White Label FAQ

Can I keep my existing hardware?

Yes, in many cases. We first assess the condition and lifecycle of your existing infrastructure, as well as how it fits the new commercial and operating model.
You can often continue using your existing hardware initially. When a refresh is due, evoila can provide the replacement infrastructure as part of the agreed setup.

Where will the infrastructure be located, and who will have physical access?

That is for you to decide. The infrastructure can remain in your data center.
You retain control over the location and physical access, while evoila supports the planning and implementation of the agreed operating model.

Does evoila supply the new hardware for the setup?

Yes. evoila provides the server stack, including HCI, and can also support the network design where required.
We plan and deliver the solution in close collaboration with your team.

What happens if I have received a termination notice?

If you have received a termination notice, we first review the relevant contract dates, existing customer commitments and your technical environment.
We then agree a structured transition plan designed to safeguard service continuity and move towards a viable target model.

How will my committed cores move to evoila?

The exact process depends on your current Broadcom agreement and the planned transition date.
After a joint review, evoila coordinates the required steps with you and Broadcom. Before the transfer starts, we document the migration plan, contractual responsibilities and commercial implications, with the aim of minimizing avoidable overlaps.

How can I estimate my core requirement if I do not yet have exact figures?

Start with your vCenter inventory and identify the physical CPUs and their core counts.
As a general rule, each CPU is calculated with a minimum of 16 licensed cores, even where the processor has fewer physical cores. We validate the resulting commitment with you against your current contractual setup.

How does onboarding work?

During onboarding, we deploy the agreed metering and management components in your environment where required, complete the necessary licensing steps and introduce you to evoila’s tools and service processes.
This ensures that the platform is set up cleanly and efficiently.
