VMware Cloud Credits Purchasing Program Offers New Revenue Opportunities for Solution Providers, Customer Pipeline for Service Providers
VMware is introducing the Cloud Credits Purchasing Program, which offers solution providers a new route to market by selling prepaid credits to be used for subscription-based hybrid or public cloud services offered by authorized VMware vCloud service provider partners.
As the cornerstone of VMware's hybrid cloud strategy, VMware service providers deliver globally consistent enterprise-class cloud computing infrastructure services built on VMware vCloud technology.
As customers continue to take advantage of public and hybrid cloud services as a comprehensive IT strategy, the ability to control spend and manage providers effectively has become a priority for many.
The VMware Cloud Credits Purchasing Program is a unique offering that brings the solution provider and service provider communities together, using the strengths of both partner types to create a unique value proposition for them and the customers they service. Solution providers can augment their private cloud sales with credits toward a public cloud service provider offering, enabling solution providers to capture upfront revenue while maintaining their trusted adviser role with customers through value-added services. Meanwhile, authorized VMware vCloud service providers can benefit from customers redeeming their Cloud Credits in exchange for cloud services based on VMware's reliable, secure and high-performing hybrid cloud architecture.
Customers can easily manage their VMware Cloud Credits in MyVMware ,while reporting is available to solution providers through Partner Central. VMware Cloud Credits will be available in March 2013.
New Incentives for Solution Providers
VMware is also offering new incentives for the recently introduced VMware vSphere with Operations Management, which brings together the industry-leading virtualization platform with the company's award-winning VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite , giving customers greater operational insight into VMware vSphere while optimizing capacity.
For a limited time, VMware is offering an advantage+ Accelerator, which adds an additional upfront discount on eligible VMware vSphere with Operations Management SKUs. In addition, attaining the VMware Management Competency allows partners to earn additional rewards on VMware vSphere with Operations Management sales through VMware's Solution Rewards program.
VMware continues to invest in helping partners deliver the software-defined datacenter based on the VMware vCloud Suite. To take full advantage of the opportunities VMware vCloud Suite affords, VMware offers enhanced Solution Rewards opportunities to partners that achieve all five of VMware's data-center- and infrastructure-focused competencies, as well as customized professional services IP to help build and deliver packaged or customized services.
VMware also continues to offer robust incentives for delivering end-user computing solutions that help partners capitalize on end-user computing and information mobility trends. The recently announced VMware Horizon Suite will bring together VMware Horizon Workspace , VMware Horizon Mirage and VMware Horizon View into an integrated and secure solution that helps customers access data from the device of their choice. Combined with the Desktop Competency, partners who sell Horizon Suite can gain additional Solution Rewards and increase sales by as much as 11x or more with add-on services, hardware and software.
New Enablement Program and Secure Social Platform for Partner-to-Partner Collaboration
VMware Role-Based Learning Paths comprise the next evolution of VMware enablement training to help partners create or continue along their enablement journey.
With VMware Role-Based Learning Paths, partners can create customized learning paths based on their role, partner type and market segment. VMware Role-Based Learning Paths provide solution providers with an optimized path, as well as the opportunity to earn VMware Accreditation badges, which help recognize and differentiate solution providers' exper
