Strengths

Recognized as Broadcom's 2025 VMware Cloud Foundation as a Service Partner of the Year. [1]
Accelerated VMware Adoption Program aimed at customers moving onto hosted VCF. [2]
Backed by Cox; channel-delivered with no direct salesforce. IQ4hire view
Backup and DR available as add-on services. IQ4hire view

Fit constraints

Still VMware: pricing follows Broadcom VCF terms through the provider. IQ4hire view
Backup/DR is an add-on, not bundled — price it into the comparison. IQ4hire view
Not positioned for a Broadcom exit; compare Paths 3 and 4 if that is the goal. IQ4hire view

Best for

Existing VCF subscribers looking for a hosted landing zone
Customers whose previous VMware partner lost authorization
Mid-market buyers who want a channel-delivered managed cloud

Look elsewhere when

FedRAMP ATO is a hard requirement
The goal is to exit Broadcom licensing entirely

Ask before you sign

How existing VCF subscription value carries over
Backup/DR add-on pricing and RPO/RTO commitments
Exit terms at end of contract
