Start Your Strategic Engagement with Virtualization
Independent software vendors (ISV) can benefit from VMware software solutions in many ways. You can leverage the technology to introduce new ways to develop and deploy your application; you can use VMware solutions to make your sales team more effective; you can partner with VMware to deliver enhanced value to shared customers. And by supporting your application when it runs in a virtual environment, your company will meet the needs of your customers as more and more of them virtualize their datacenters.
Enterprises that have deployed VMware Infrastructure are increasingly establishing "virtualization first" policies that require all new and upgrade server requests be fulfilled with a virtual machine to achieve cost reductions, higher service level delivery, and better datacenter management. By confirming that your application(s) run as expected in virtual environments, your company will be ready to support this growing trend toward "virtualization first."
To help you get up to speed on ways you can use virtualization to enhance your products and competitive position, VMware has created special in-depth ISV Partner Enablement materials such as an ISV solution quick start guide, links to dozens of online VMware webinars, indepth whitepapers and sample deployment guides available to all ISVs who join the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) Program.
