The VSX is a valuable source of leads for partners who build technologies that complement, integrate or interoperate with VMware’s portfolio of products.
The VMware Solution Exchange is a socially enabled virtualization and cloud marketplace where VMware partners and developers use a self-service portal to publish rich marketing content and downloadable software. Examples include demos, screenshots, videos, and joint whitepapers, as well as virtual appliances, vRealize Orchestrator plug-ins, vRealize Operations adapters, application blueprints, and information describing complex enterprise solutions. Customers can then research solutions, contact partners for more information and download available software. In its first year of operation, the VSX received more than 2 million unique visitors and has become a valuable source of leads for partners who build technologies that complement, integrate or interoperate with VMware’s portfolio of products.
The opportunity to publish on the VSX is available to all authorized VMware Partners who are a member of the Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. Individual developers may be approved to publish on the VSX upon request. Developers are individuals or companies who are not authorized VMware partners, who wish to publish virtual appliances, vApps, or specific content extensions to VMware management products on the VSX.

VMware reserves the right to review and approve the applications for a featured spot, which are available only for approved applications. Details of the application and criteria for a featured spot on VSX are available on the VSX Featured Listing Requirements page.
