VCF 9
With VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) a new era begins for Private and Hybrid Cloud. It is not a traditional upgrade, but a completely new Cloud operating model that combines the simplicity and scalability of the Public Cloud with the control, security, and predictability of the Private Cloud.
Fundaments – Broadcom VCSP Pinnacle Partner
Fundaments is part of a very select group of strategic partners worldwide chosen by Broadcom to work with VMware Cloud Foundation 9. Fundaments recently achieved the highest recognition within the VMware Cloud Service Provider program: Broadcom VCSP Pinnacle Partner status. This underscores our deep VMware expertise and our proven ability to design, implement, and manage complex, enterprise-grade Private Cloud environments.
One integrated Cloud platform
VMware Cloud Foundation 9 has been developed as one fully integrated platform with a single lifecycle, one operating model, and one consistent user experience. Where Private Cloud previously consisted of separate components and custom solutions, VCF 9 delivers a cohesive Cloud stack in which all core functionalities are integrated by default:
- Compute, storage, and networking
- Security and microsegmentation
- Operations, monitoring, and lifecycle management
- Automation and self-service
This integration makes Private Cloud easier to manage and more predictable, while supporting a broad spectrum of workloads. Traditional enterprise applications as well as Cloud-native, container-based, and AI workloads all run securely and efficiently on one uniform architecture.
Control, simplicity, and lower costs
Through extensive automated lifecycle management across the entire stack, updates, patches, security, and compliance are handled centrally and consistently. This reduces operational complexity, minimizes risk, and lowers Total Cost of Ownership, while accelerating innovation.
VCF 9 therefore brings together the best of both worlds: the flexibility of the Public Cloud with the stability and sovereignty (control) of the Private Cloud.
The foundation of Fundaments’ Trusted Private Cloud
VMware Cloud Foundation 9 forms the core of Fundaments’ Trusted (Dedicated and Shared) Private Cloud. On this platform, both existing mission-critical applications and modern container and AI workloads run securely and scalably on a single, uniform cloud architecture.
VM-native and container-native workloads are supported and managed equally through one platform, without disruptive migrations or parallel infrastructures. The environment can be deployed on-premises, at the edge, provider-managed, or in hybrid scenarios.
Security, sovereignty and compliance by design
Security and compliance are integral parts of VCF 9. Combined with Fundaments’ fully Dutch Cloud platform, this creates a sovereign Cloud environment in which data, processes, and technology remain fully under your own control. Fundaments delivers its Cloud and platform services from multiple geographically separated Tier 3+ data centers in the Netherlands and complies with strict national and European laws and regulations, including GDPR and NIS2. This is supported by certifications such as ISO 27001, NEN 7510, and ISAE 3402, enabling organizations to demonstrably meet compliance requirements.
From infrastructure to enterprise Cloud
With VCF Advanced Services, VCF 9 evolves into a full-fledged enterprise Cloud platform. Services for Private AI, disaster recovery, ransomware recovery, secure access, application performance, data services, and cost transparency transform IT into a reliable, scalable, and future-proof business service.
Guidance from strategy to realization
The transition to VMware Cloud Foundation 9 requires more than just technical implementation. Fundaments supports organizations throughout the entire journey, from cloud strategy and architecture to migration, adoption, and operations. Readiness assessments and sovereignty scans provide insight and direction in advance, ensuring informed, future-proof decisions.
With more than 25 years of Private Cloud experience, extensive VMware certifications, and Pinnacle CSP Partner status, Fundaments delivers certainty, continuity, and control, today and tomorrow.

From Cloud Verified to Sovereign Cloud
Several years ago, Fundaments achieved VMware Cloud Verified status, recognizing our technical competence and quality. For us, this was not an endpoint, but a starting point. Under the motto “Go Beyond, Be The Best,” we further optimized our cloud services. All processes, technologies, and operational workflows have been evolved into an innovative, well-oiled cloud environment with full control and predictability.
These efforts were rewarded with another milestone: as one of the first organizations in Europe, we achieved VMware Sovereign Cloud status. This means our cloud is fully operated from the Netherlands, under complete control of Fundaments. From physical infrastructure to processes and configurations, everything is managed in-house. This sovereignty strengthens our grip on quality, enables customization, and guarantees maximum transparency and reliability for our customers.
The result? Peace of mind, certainty, and focus, focus on what truly matters to you: your users and your core business.
