A practical way for CSPs and MSPs to maintain control, protect customer relationships, and reduce VMware uncertainty without forcing architectural change.
The VMware landscape has become significantly noisier over the past year. For many Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs), this has led to a deliberate pause, not because decisions cannot be made, but because the cost of making the wrong one has increased.
Redcentric Cloud is designed to support CSPs and MSPs through this period, not replace their platforms, operating models, or customer relationships. Our role is to help you sense check your position, stabilise existing environments, and continue operating on your own terms while the wider ecosystem continues to shift.
This page brings together expert guidance and practical resources to help you assess your options, without pressure to commit.
Recent changes to the VMware partner framework mean service providers can no longer procure VMware licences through previous routes. This has reduced flexibility at exactly the point where clarity is most needed. To provide context on what this means in practice, hear from Redcentric Head of Cloud Solutions and Design, Mark Harrison, in conversation with The Register.

Most CSPs and MSPs are not looking to disrupt working estates or retrain teams prematurely. Continuity matters.
Redcentric Cloud allows you to:
The objective is stability first, not rushed transformation.
There is no single correct response to the VMware changes. The right route depends on estate maturity, customer commitments, hardware lifecycle, and risk appetite. What matters is having a platform that allows you to move at the right pace, without forcing premature decisions. In practice, partners are typically taking one or a combination of the following routes.
Use Redcentric Cloud capacity for new or incremental workloads, reducing procurement delays and simplifying ongoing service delivery.
Adopt allows existing VMware services to continue running while stabilising licensing and operational risk, without forcing transformation or customer disruption.
Evolve over time through managed refresh cycles aligned to commercial and hardware realities, removing ongoing lifecycle and capacity planning burden.
CSPs and MSPs have invested years building trust with their customers. That trust should not be put at risk by platform change.
Our role is to act as a supporting layer:
The estate you run today can remain the estate you run tomorrow. What changes is where the underlying platform risk sits.
If you are reviewing your VMware strategy and want to reduce risk without forcing decisions, we can help. Speak to us to validate how your current estate can continue to operate, understand where genuine constraints exist and preserve flexibility while the market continues to evolve.
