Now is the time for ISVs and service providers to join the VMware vCloud Director® partner ecosystem. The opportunities have never been better.
New Training
ISVs get streamlined access and certification to vCloud Director. And because service providers get more pre-certified capabilities with new releases of vCloud Director, they can more rapidly monetize services for their customers.
VMware has also developed a new five-day course that focuses on designing, installing, configuring, and managing vCloud Director 8.10. We also offer VMware vCloud Director Fundamentals, an e-learning course that covers the basics of vCloud Director and its various components, architecture, and features.
Better Access, Better Knowledge
By joining the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program, partners can obtain early access to vCloud Director Beta releases. ISVs get more exposure to new business opportunities through the VMware vCloud® Air™ Network, and we’ve made it easier than ever for partners to have direct access to our product managers, product marketing managers, and engineers for questions, escalations, and road map discussions.
One partner who has already taken advantage of this program is Veeam Software, an independent Swiss software vendor that has built a self-service, multitenant portal that integrates with vCloud Director. The company’s customers can now configure and back up entire systems, control scheduling, recover whole virtual machines, accomplish file-level restores, and restore Oracle databases.
In the months ahead, look for further training and resources as we continue to strengthen our partner ecosystem.
