Leaseweb<\/a> just climbed to the highest rung of Broadcom<\/a>‘s VMware partner program, earning Pinnacle status for its cloud operations across Europe, Singapore, and the United States.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Dutch hosting company now sits among the small group of providers Broadcom trusts most to run VMware Cloud Foundation<\/a> on customers’ behalf. Under the new status, Leaseweb will offer VMware Cloud Foundation as a managed private cloud service, along with a sovereign cloud option built for customers who need their data to stay within specific legal and geographic boundaries.<\/p>\n

Broadcom, meanwhile, positions VMware Cloud Foundation as a way for businesses to run both virtual machines and containerized applications under one consistent setup, whether that infrastructure sits in a data center, at the edge, or with a managed cloud partner like Leaseweb.<\/p>\n

Getting to Pinnacle, however, isn’t a low bar. Broadcom reserves it for partners who’ve racked up extensive certifications and demonstrated consistent sales and service delivery across multiple markets, and in this case, Leaseweb’s designation specifically spans three separate regions rather than just one home market.<\/p>\n

“Customers need continuity, control and confidence in the VMware environments that support their business-critical workloads,” said Lex Boost, Leaseweb’s co-CEO, framing the sovereign infrastructure angle as central to what customers are asking for right now.<\/p>\n

That framing, in turn, lines up with a broader trend playing out across the hosting and cloud industry. Regulated businesses, along with public sector organizations, have grown increasingly cautious about where their data physically lives and which legal jurisdictions can reach it, and consequently, that caution is pushing renewed demand toward private and sovereign cloud setups rather than default public cloud deployments.<\/p>\n

Broadcom, for its part, described Leaseweb<\/a> as part of a small group of top-tier partners helping steer customers toward VMware Cloud Foundation. “With VCF, customers benefit from a modern private cloud that accelerates innovation, controls cloud costs, and enables sovereignty and security with data control that supports better compliance and cyber resilience at scale,” said David Cairns, Broadcom’s director of cloud service provider and OEM sales.<\/p>\n

Overall, Leaseweb, founded in the Netherlands, currently operates 28 data centers and offices across 10 countries, offering everything from dedicated servers and colocation to content delivery and managed cloud services. Thanks to the Pinnacle designation, the company now has a stronger foothold in an infrastructure market where compliance and control increasingly shape buying decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
