Leaseweb Acquires ITQ’s VMware VCSP Customer Base in Major Expansion of European VCF Platform

Leaseweb, a provider of cloud services and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, has announced the acquisition of the Broadcom VMware white label VCSP customer base of ITQ, an European Broadcom IT Services company.The move follows the recently announced strategic partnership between the two companies, under which ITQ selected Leaseweb as its infrastructure partner for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) services for its VCSP partners, in a significant expansion of Leaseweb’s VCF platform across Europe.

As part of the acquisition, 51 VCSP customers will transition to Leaseweb’s VCF platform, collectively accounting for approximately 35,000 cores. This brings Leaseweb’s core count to 65,000, positioning it as the largest VMware Pinnacle Partner in the Netherlands and reinforcing its position within the Broadcom partner ecosystem.

The acquired white label VCSP partners, previously operating under the Broadcom VMware Advantage Partner program, will be able to continue to market their proposition under Leaseweb’s Broadcom VMware VCSP Pinnacle Partner status. As an Authorized Pinnacle VCSP, Leaseweb transacts directly with Broadcom, providing these partners with a fully authorized and long-term platform for their VMware businesses. Partners will also continue to have access to ITQ’s VMware expertise as part of the ongoing partnership between the two organizations.

In addition to the acquired customer base, Leaseweb and ITQ are actively engaging with global non-renewing Broadcom VMware VCSP partners, offering a supported path forward for their VMware businesses under Leaseweb’s Pinnacle Partner infrastructure. Under the partnership, Leaseweb will act as provider for VMware VCF 9.x infrastructure, with ITQ serving as knowledge partner, bringing industry-leading VMware advisory and implementation expertise to support customers through migration and deployment.

“This announcement represents an important step in the expansion of our Broadcom VMware Cloud Foundation business and reinforces our long-term commitment to organizations building their future on VMware,” said Lex Boost, co-CEO, Leaseweb. “We are delighted to welcome ITQ’s VCSP partners to the Leaseweb platform and look forward to supporting their continued growth with enterprise-grade infrastructure and direct access to Broadcom through our Pinnacle Partner status.”

“Leaseweb’s Broadcom VMware VCSP Pinnacle Partner status and enterprise-grade infrastructure make it a natural fit for our white label VCSP customers,” said Francisco Perez van Oord, founder and president, ITQ. “It also allows us to continue supporting them with our VMware expertise while providing a trusted platform for long-term growth.”
