The Embedded OEM program enables TAP Program members (ISV/IHVs) to embed VMware products such as VMware vSphere, the industry’s most reliable virtualization platform, VMware vCenter Server, the most advanced virtualization management platform, VMware Workstation and others tightly into their solutions and sell the combined solution and support to end users worldwide. This approach enables OEMs to enhance the end-user experience by providing a pre-configured virtualized solution and end-user support right out of the box while reducing the complexity of deployments.

There are four phases to an OEM’s engagement lifecycle with VMware. They are OEM Application and Evaluation, Agreement Signing, OEM On-Boarding, and OEM Solution Creation, Release and Maintenance.

To start the process,

• TAP Program Members,
  • Ask your alliance contact to provide you with a Embedded OEM Questionnaire or send an email to TAP-OEM-Program@vmware.com with your name, company name and your TAP membership level. Please allow 7-10 business days for a response.
• Non-TAP Members,
  • Become a TAP Program Member
  • Send an email to TAP-OEM-Program@vmware.com with your name, company name and the status of your TAP application. We can start the OEM process while your TAP membership is being processed, but cannot complete it. Allow 7-10 business days for a response.
