Embedded OEM

Embedded OEM partners can deliver a pre-configured, turn-key solution with embedded VMware products to their customers.

What Is an Embedded OEM Partner? 

As an OEM partner, you can embed selected VMware products as an integrated component of your overall software, hardware, or appliance design.
