VMware has re-signed OEM sales agreements with three major hardware vendors 
Dell, HPE and Lenovo. 

The news (via The Register ) comes around five months after Dell confirmed 
that it would be terminating its distribution deal with VMware in the wake of 
major policy and pricing revisions implemented under its new Broadcom 
leadership.

systems and servers pre-installed with VMwares software stack. Dell re-signs

virtualization, has become increasingly popular among enterprises thanks to 
its ability to streamline IT solutions and optimize efficiency. 

With three major hardware providers onboard, the new deals will see VMware 
secure broader distribution. The trio of manufacturers will also benefit from 
their respective deals by appealing to even more customers.

collaboration between itself and the virtualization giant the Texas-based 
computer company exited its distribution deal with VMware in January 2024.

enables the companies to continue delivering co-engineered solutions that 
help organizations embrace modern applications at cloud scale and optimize 
their data centers," a statement by Dell said.

hyperconverged infrastructure, Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell PowerFlex 
software-defined infrastructure will benefit from the deal.
