eLINIA’s continued commitment to VMWare, coupled with the growth in sales of virtualised Hosting Solutions and subsequent business expansion has enabled us to elevate our status on the VMWare Service Provider Program to Enterprise level.
The VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP) is a cornerstone of VMware’s vCloud initiative.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.
VSPP was designed to help ensure a successful partnership with VMware, through offering benefits such as support and tools through which partners can develop, promote, and sell their VMware-based products, services and solutions. The VMware Service Provider Program was created for IT partners providing Hosted IT services to End User Companies Hosted IT services include Web Services, File, Mail, Database, Application, Transaction, Disaster Recovery, Co-location, and other Managed Services.
Enterprise level: Enterprise partners are required to have a higher level of VMware expertise than Professional or Registered Partners, allowing them to more effectively take advantage of VMware’s vCloud computing solutions to develop and deliver enterprise-ready cloud services to market.
Benefits to our customers: The VSPP offers service provider partners the option to “rent” VMware software licenses on a monthly “pay as you go” basis, which in turn allows service providers to provide VMware products and create customised hosted infrastructures to customers in the same pay as you go manner.
