Cloud Service Provider

The vendor calls it: VMware Cloud Service Provider

Under 3500 cores, a service provider now has to attach to a Premier or Pinnacle CSP. We do not host anything ourselves.

What changed

Since Broadcom’s acquisition, service providers have to attach to a CSP in the Pinnacle or Premier tier if their core count is below 3500.

No hosting of our own

Licensing your platform through someone who serves the same customers gives away more than an order quantity.

As a CSP in the Premier tier we supply white-label licensing for your hosting platform, along with help integrating the VCF technologies. We implement VCF ourselves and can help with Tanzu, NSX, vSAN and the operations tooling, so the stack you bought actually gets used.

Working out your core count

Read the core count from your vCenter inventory. Important: every CPU counts as at least 16 cores, even where the actual number is lower.
