Phoenix NAP Joins the VMware Service Provider Program

Company's Secured Cloud clients are able to benefit from VMware's application portability and achieve flexibility and security to meet their requirements.

Phoenix NAP, a next-generation data center and network access point, yesterday announced that it is now a member of the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP) as an Enterprise level member.

The company states that as a part of the VMware vCloud initiative, the VSPP is a framework that enables service and hosting providers to consume VMware virtualization solutions in a way that aligns with their business models. By utilizing VMware technology the data center is able to deliver cloud computing services that support the largest set of existing applications and offer distinctive application mobility. Its Secured Cloud clients are able to benefit from VMware's application portability and achieve flexibility and security to meet their requirements while continuing to enable increased IT agility.

It further states that the VMware Service Provider Program was created for partners who offer cloud computing and/or hosted IT services to enterprise and SMB organizations. Through a product subscription model, VSPP provides partners flexibility in offering VMware virtualization solutions, applications and services to their customers with no up-front expense. VSPP creates new opportunities for service providers and helps them expand revenue streams with new lines of business based on VMware product portfolios, including virtualization and cloud infrastructure, cloud application, and end-user computing - setting the foundation for greater profitability and success.

"We are thrilled to achieve Enterprise Service Provider status with VMware and are excited to utilize the leading technologies, VMware vShield and vSphere, in virtualization and cloud computing," said Ian McClarty, President of Phoenix NAP. "We look forward to our continued relationship with VMware in the future."

"We are pleased that Phoenix NAP has entered the VMware Service Provider Program," said Geoff Waters, Director, VMware Service Provider Program. "VMware is uniquely positioned to help service providers like Phoenix NAP develop their own cloud computing businesses to enable them to increase revenue, differentiate service offerings and accelerate growth opportunities, and we're excited to welcome Phoenix NAP into the program."
