Advania Retains VMware Cloud Service Provider Partner Status

Advania announced in January 2026 that the company has retained its status as a VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) partner in the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program. Following changes to Broadcom's partner program, Advania retains partner status, reserved for providers with deep technical expertise, extensive certifications, and a proven ability to deliver at scale.

At a time when many Broadcom customers are seeking a path forward, Advania's continued partner status provides customers across Northern Europe with stability, continuity, and choice. Advania remains one of the region's largest providers of VMware Cloud Foundation based private cloud services, including sovereign cloud and Private AI.

VMware Cloud Foundation is Broadcom's platform for modern private cloud environments, combining compute, storage, networking, and automation into a single integrated stack. As a certified Cloud Service Provider, Advania supports customers wherever they are in their journey. This includes operating VMware environments in customer datacenters, delivering fully managed private cloud services, or enabling license portability for customers who want to retain control over their existing investments.

"Retaining partner status reflects the long term investment we have made in VMware expertise across Northern Europe. More importantly, it reassures our customers that we are here for the long run, with the scale, capability, and commitment needed to support their private cloud environments today and help them evolve at their own pace," said Hege Støre, CEO of Advania.

Advania has designed, operated, and modernized VMware environments for organizations of all sizes, across public sector and regulated industries, for more than two decades. In a changing market, Advania provides a steady partner with deep platform understanding, clear accountability, and a strong focus on helping customers build secure, resilient, and future ready private clouds.
