Accelerate profitability with VMware vCloud computing solutions

VMware vCloud initiative delivers a set of cloud computing services across a common platform, which supports the largest set of existing applications and carries the distinctive mobility features only available from VMware.  As part of the vCloud initiative, VMware has established the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP), a framework that allows Service and Hosting Providers to consume VMware virtualization solutions in a way that aligns with their business model.  This creates new opportunities for Providers to offer virtualization enabled solutions, applications and services for their customers and sets the foundation for greater profitability and success.

A Unique vCloud Program for Hosting & Service Providers

The VMware Service Provider Program helps partners capitalize on the growing virtualization trend by expanding your offerings to include VMware virtualization solutions via cloud computing. The VSPP recognizes the unique value in the way service and hosting solutions providers deliver new applications and services to customers. The program is differentiated by allowing partners access to usage rights for VMware products in hosting environments and the licensing model allows you to consume product in a way that aligns with your business: by virtual machine and by the month.

VMware vCloud Computing allows you to:

• Leverage industry-leading virtualization solutions with proven reliability, broad application coverage and unique mobility features
• Expand revenue streams with new business continuity and automation offerings, such as disaster recovery and high availability
• Bring enterprise-ready cloud services to market with tools and solutions that allow you to target the extensive VMware customer base
• More effectively utilize hardware resources to deliver the services your customers need, at a price they can afford, while meeting strict SLAs.

VMware has established a tiered program structure for partners based on their level of technical and support capabilities to provide virtualization enables services to their customers:

Professional:  This level is open to any hosting/service provider interested in leveraging VMware’s industry-leading virtualization solutions to deliver to your customers.

Enterprise: Enterprise partners have a higher level of VMware expertise, allowing them to more effectively take advantage of VMware’s vCloud computing solutions to develop and deliver enterprise-ready cloud services to market.
