Ahead has partnered with RapidScale to transition approximately 120 of its enterprise customers to RapidScale's VMware Cloud Service Provider offerings. This move follows significant changes to Broadcom's VCSP program, which reduced the number of eligible partners. The partnership aims to provide continuity and a clear VMware roadmap for clients affected by these changes. Ahead will continue to operate as a VMware reseller while RapidScale will manage the VCSP aspects, ensuring customers have access to updated VMware Cloud Foundation versions. Both companies will implement a joint go-to-market strategy, referring business to each other to enhance service delivery. Stephen Ayoub, Ahead's co-founder, noted minimal customer pushback and excitement among clients regarding the transition.
