Insights
Broadcom and ING expand a strategic partnership to standardize ING's multi‑region private cloud on VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0.
Broadcom's VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 will act as a unified private cloud stack for ING, replacing fragmentary tooling with a full‑stack, managed software platform to support multi‑region workload mobility, operational consistency, and compliance needs. The engagement combines software plus professional services for design, implementation, and ongoing optimization, which should reduce management overhead and accelerate delivery of digital banking services.
The success of this program depends on execution milestones and controls: migration sequencing, integration with ING's existing VMware estate, proof points for data sovereignty controls, and measurable operational baselines for security and resiliency. Risks include migration complexity across regions and any gaps between compliance requirements and implemented controls; professional services scope and timelines will materially affect near‑term costs and disruption.
Watch for delivered milestones and timelines for rollout, measurable reductions in operational tasks, and documented compliance attestations within the next 12–24 months (
