When you trust R2 to design, migrate, or support your VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, you're working with engineers recognized at the highest level Broadcom offers.
We're proud to share that Brandon DaCosta and Benjamin Thaw have earned Broadcom Knight status, the company's highest technical recognition for partner engineers. Brandon was recognized as a double Broadcom Knight, earning Knight status in both Storage and Networking, while Ben earned Broadcom Knight status for Storage.
Knight status is invitation-only. It requires advanced certifications, proven field expertise, and nomination by Broadcom's Global Enablement leadership, and it's re-validated every year. Only a select group of technologists worldwide hold it.
For our customers, this recognition reinforces what matters most: deep engineering expertise that helps you make informed decisions, execute complex VCF projects, and optimize your environment long after deployment.
Congratulations, Brandon and Ben. Thank you for continuing to raise the bar for our customers and our team. ⚔️
