Leaseweb acquires ITQ's white-label VCSP customer base of 51 customers and 35,000 cores, bringing its total VMware Cloud Foundation footprint to 65,000 cores and claiming largest Pinnacle partner status in the Netherlands. The move provides a migration path for VMware partners whose contracts were not renewed under Broadcom's restructured invite-only VCSP programme.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're a VMware partner with a non-renewal notice from Broadcom, Leaseweb now has the Pinnacle status to keep your customers live - but you'll be running on their infrastructure, not your own. Call Leaseweb or ITQ this week; the window for negotiating terms closes when those 51 customers finish migrating.
