Broadcom wins Google Cloud Partner of the Year award for fifth year

Broadcom has once again been recognized with a prestigious 2025 Google Cloud Infrastructure Modernization Partner of the Year for virtualization. This marks our fifth consecutive time being recognized with the honor, a testament to our unwavering commitment to collaborating with Google Cloud to deliver exceptional hybrid cloud solutions.

Together, we’ve built our partnership with customer choice as a top priority, offering flexibility in deployment and unique license portability between on-prem and Google Cloud environments. With VMware Cloud Foundation license portability and Google Cloud VMware Engine, customers can tailor their hybrid cloud experience to perfectly match their specific needs.

The cornerstone of our success lies in the powerful synergy between Broadcom and Google Cloud. Our collaboration fuels innovation and flexibility, allowing organizations such as HD Supply to complete their cloud migration in 50% of the projected time, and ADT to scale their virtual desktop environments to support 20,000 employees in just 10 days. Our mutual customers have increased efficiency and performance, reduced operational expenses, and gained the ability to scale rapidly to meet their evolving business needs – all key elements of their digital transformations.

“Google Cloud’s Partner Awards recognize partners who have created outsized value for customers through the delivery of innovative solutions and a high level of expertise,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem, Google Cloud. “We’re proud to announce Broadcom as a 2025 Google Cloud Partner Award winner and celebrate their impact enabling customer success over the past year.”

At the core of our partnership lies Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE), a solution that combines the power of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) with unique Google Cloud capabilities, setting a new standard for the hybrid cloud experience. GCVE delivers:

• An impressive four 9’s of uptime SLA within a single zone
• Flexible node families with 8 node shapes for optimized capacity management
• Up to 200 Gbps of east-west networking
• Native VPC integration and much more.

One of the most significant achievements of this collaboration is GCVE’s full support for VCF. This powerful combination empowers enterprises to seamlessly extend their on-prem environments to the cloud. VCF provides a modern software-defined infrastructure, built-in cyber resilience and threat prevention, as well as industry-leading compute, storage, networking, automation, and management capabilities. This robust platform enables organizations to effectively virtualize their entire infrastructure on Google Cloud.

A key milestone in this partnership was Google Cloud becoming ready to offer VCF license portability, since last year. This capability allows customers to extend their entitlements from on-prem to GCVE, leveraging a consistent operational experience across environments. Together we are bringing customers enhanced choice, flexibility, reduced operational complexity and costs, and guaranteed investment protection. Complementing VCF license portability, customers continue to have the option to purchase a VCF-licensed GCVE environment, inclusive of VCF software, directly from Google Cloud. This flexible approach provides organizations with a range of deployment options tailored to their specific needs.

We are incredibly proud to have earned this 2025 Google Cloud Partner of the Year award, a testament to the remarkable impact of our collaboration with Google Cloud. We’re excited to continue building on this shared success, driving innovation and delivering exceptional value to our customers. Together, we are shaping the future of hybrid cloud, empowering businesses to achieve their full potential.
