Partners are being selected under stricter criteria, increasingly tied to skills and delivery capabilities. At the center of this evolution is VMware Cloud Foundation, which is more and more often positioned as the reference platform for private cloud.
In this context, 4IT Solutions has been confirmed as an Authorized VMware Reseller (Select tier) under Broadcom’s updated partner program framework. For the local market, this is a significant milestone. Among the authorized resellers included in the program, 4IT is the only company with headquarters and operational teams in Ticino, providing local businesses with a nearby point of contact for continuity, governance, and support.
What it means to be an authorized VMware reseller today
Being an Authorized Reseller is not just a label—it means being part of an official ecosystem with requirements and expectations that are more stringent than in the past. At this stage, Broadcom is consolidating the program and raising the bar, prioritizing partners who can support customers across the entire lifecycle—from architecture definition and transition to adoption and ongoing optimization.
In practice, the model is shifting from transactional resale to a more consultative, operational approach. What matters is the ability to guide organizations toward a modern private cloud, backed by dedicated technical and delivery expertise and a concrete, long-term commitment.
Why this confirmation matters for Ticino-based businesses
For many businesses today, the priority is no longer just buying a license, but having a reliable partner when it comes to operational continuity and renewals, clarity on metrics and requirements, architectural evolution, and decisions between on-prem, cloud, and hybrid models. Added to this is the need for local support and tangible response times—especially during a period of change like the current one.
What it means for 4IT customers
The confirmation of our authorization is, first and foremost, a guarantee of continuity. We will continue to support VMware customers within the official program framework, with an approach focused on outcomes and adoption—not just procurement.
For those reassessing their VMware strategy—across renewals, consolidation, cost optimization, and a modernization journey toward VMware Cloud Foundation—now is the right time to clarify the landscape and define a pragmatic roadmap.
A conversation to define the roadmap
Whether it’s managing a consolidated VMware environment, planning an infrastructure refresh, or evaluating a path toward a more standardized private cloud, 4IT Solutions can support organizations in assessing the current landscape and setting priorities—separating what’s useful to do now from what’s best planned in phases.
