CHICAGO – April 8, 2026 – AHEAD, a leading provider of cloud, security, and advanced data center and AI infrastructure solutions for enterprise organizations, today announced it has been awarded four awards in the Broadcom 2025 Partner Awards. AHEAD was selected for its success in helping customers navigate their digital transformation journeys while maximizing the value of their Broadcom software investments.

The Broadcom 2025 Partner Awards recognize key partners for their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to helping customers rapidly achieve their business objectives. The 2025 winners were selected based on their roles in driving growth, innovation, go-to-market execution excellence, and investing in enablement and technical expertise. Each winner is recognized for their commitment to delivering superior customer outcomes.

AHEAD’s business is anchored in modern infrastructure—designing, deploying, and operating enterprise-scale platforms that span virtualized data centers, private cloud, and hybrid multi-cloud environments. With deep expertise in VMware-based architectures, cloud operating models, and automation, AHEAD helps organizations standardize and simplify their infrastructure so mission-critical applications run reliably, securely, and at scale. This focus on resilient, software-defined foundations enables clients to accelerate modernization initiatives while maintaining the performance, governance, and cost control their businesses demand.

A core pillar of this work is helping enterprises adopt and operationalize VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) as a unified platform for their hybrid and private cloud environments. By guiding customers through VCF assessments, design, implementation, and ongoing optimization, AHEAD helps unify disparate VMware estates, streamline lifecycle management, and create a consistent, policy-driven infrastructure layer across data centers and clouds. This VCF-centered approach accelerates time to value for customers’ Broadcom software investments while giving customers a scalable, more secure, and automated foundation for their most critical applications.

“Broadcom’s portfolio sits at the center of many of our clients’ strategies to modernize and simplify their environments,” said Ken Nalbone, Principal Specialist Solutions Engineer at AHEAD. “We work side by side with customers to design and implement Broadcom and VMware solutions that consolidate platforms, streamline operations, reduce risk, and maximize the value of their investments. These awards, particularly Expert Advantage Consulting Services-Strategic Partner of the Year, reflect the outcomes our clients are achieving which is more efficient, resilient, and secure digital foundations that free their teams to focus less on running infrastructure and more on driving the business forward.”

“We are proud to recognize our Broadcom 2025 Partner Award winners for their unwavering effort and dedication to drive transformation, build strong relationships, and help customers achieve meaningful business results,” said Laura Falko, Head of Global Partner Programs, Marketing, and Experience, Broadcom. “These awards honor the partners who expertly execute our partner values by delivering consistent end-to-end customer outcomes – from guiding strategic decisions to architecting the right solutions and executing post-sales deployment and implementation.”

The Broadcom Advantage Partner Program brings together best-of-breed technology partners to deliver solutions and expertise for today’s complex business challenges. Broadcom partners are highly capable and experienced companies that help customers make the most of their technology stack and drive greater returns from their Broadcom software investments.
