Broadcom VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) is a program that allows partners to offer managed cloud services to customers by providing:
Sovereign cloud services that support data residency
Compliance certifications
Expertise in local regulations
Strong security measures
Transparency and control over data handling
How it Works

Program Tiers
Broadcom VCSPs are divided into tiers, including:
VCSP Premier Partners - Have highly-developed VMware practices and a consistent track record of delivering customer satisfaction
VCSP Registered Partners - Achieve the minimum requirements for the program
Partner Onboarding Process
The partner signs a sales order with XTIUM
A kick-off call is scheduled:
XTIUM provides a presentation to the partner
The partner provides Evolve IP a list of software and keys needed for their environment
XTIUM verifies the partner's core count (total ESXi core count shown in all vCenter servers)
The partner tears down old usage meters (if present)
XTIUM provides the steps to install new instances of Usage Meter v4.8
Using the steps provided by XTIUM, the partner installs an instance of Usage Meter in their environment
During the installation, the partner provides the UUID from the Usage Meter installation process, and waits for XTIUM to perform the Broadcom registration
XTIUM uses the UUID to register the instance of Usage Meter in the Broadcom portal
Once registered, the partner finishes the Usage Meter install
The partner adds all vCenter servers to their instance of Usage Meter
XTIUM generates keys and provides them to the partner along with any software downloads
The partner swaps their keys and notifies XTIUM when completed
