Most recently, 11:11 Systems bought Ntirety. That move gave them a bigger managed cloud presence, especially at a time when the VMware partner ecosystem is pretty unsettled. The deal reflects a wider shift as service providers respond to recent changes introduced by Broadcom.
In recent months, Broadcom has reshaped the VMware Cloud Service Provider program. As a result, fewer partners now hold authorized status. Consequently, many VMware focused providers have begun reevaluating how they support customers that depend on virtualized infrastructure. Some companies have tried moving workloads around. Others went for partnerships or just bought up other businesses.
In the middle of all this, 11:11 Systems jumped right into consolidation. Over the last three years, they’ve snapped up a handful of VMware-focused companies. These include iland Cloud, Green Cloud Defense, Unitas Global, Sungard Availability Services, and Faction. With the addition of Ntirety, 11:11 Systems gains further scale and operational depth.
According to the company, Ntirety brings experienced teams and a well established VMware practice. More importantly, it adds a customer base with complex compliance and security requirements. As a result, the combined organization aims to support enterprises operating across hybrid and multi cloud environments with greater consistency.
Brett Diamond, chief executive of 11:11 Systems, said the company has worked closely with former VMware partners during this transition. He noted that many providers seek stability for their customers while adapting to vendor driven change.In this context, Ntirety was described as a strong fit due to its technical expertise and global presence.
Meanwhile, Broadcom has emphasized its focus on a smaller group of partners with broader capabilities. Ricky Cooper, general manager for Global Cloud Service Providers and OEMs at Broadcom, pointed to 11:11 Systems’ scale and integrated service portfolio. He said these factors support VMware customers as the platform continues to evolve.
For Ntirety, the move provides continuity during a time of uncertainty. Jim Parks, chief executive of Ntirety, said the combined organization offers the experience needed to support modern infrastructure strategies. These include traditional virtualization, container platforms, and emerging private AI workloads.
This deal really shows where managed services are heading. As things get more complicated, providers want to get bigger and spread out across more regions. For businesses, that usually means working with fewer vendors and relying on more centralized platforms. The companies didn’t share any details about the price.
