Get Your Product VMware Certified
Vmware’s Hardware Certification Program enables Partners to profit by providing our mutual customers with hardware products which have been certified with VMware’s ESX product line.
This program will enable more and more hardware devices to test against ESX and upon passing, obtain official VMware ESX certification and support. This creates a broader ecosystem of devices certified to run with VMware, thus more choices for our customers and new platforms for you to sell on.
By participating in this program and successfully completing the testing requirements, Partners will have:
- Product Listed on Vmware’s Hardware Compatibility List
- Authorization to use the VMware Certified Logo, which will showcase that both VMware and you the Partner will support the hardware product in VMware’s ESX environment.
- Access to the VMTN Hardware Certification Forums in which partners can receive announcements and engage in discussions about the different facets of certification.
Platform Requirements
VMware currently supports Certification for the following platforms:
- x86 Servers
- Fibre Channel Storage Arrays
- iSCSI Storage Arrays
- NAS Devices
As VMware expands its technologies and capabilities to support other types of hardware they will be listed here.
