VMware has signed on 40 Service Provider Partners in India under the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP). The program has been designed to help service providers develop, promote and sell their cloud products, services and solutions.
T Srinivasan, MD, VMware India & SAARC said, "With the VMware Service Provider Program, we have enabled our partners to offer solutions that provide cost-effective, cloud-based virtualized infrastructure that meet the specific needs of their customers through a simplified, easily accessible service model. The growing interest by partners suggests that public and hybrid clouds are not only a strategic imperative in organizations today, but also those Indian companies are increasingly considering, evaluating and consuming compute services in the cloud."
CVS Suri, President& CEO, Enterprise Services, Sify Technologies said, "The Cloud today offers granular flexibility in subscription and usage terms to customers. Customers are demanding cloud services on an hourly, monthly and even on a multi-year term basis. Our strategic partnership with VMware has enabled us to build and offer Enterprise Grade Cloud services with complete flexibility, security and scalability. Our association with VMware is not just confined to products; it also includes building strong expertise on VMware tools to support the end to end service lifecycle. Today, Sify has over 20 VMware Certified Professionals, 29 VMware Sales Professionals and 56 VMware Technology Sales Professionals, which differentiates us vis-à-vis other public cloud players in the country."

Netmagic was one of the first Service Provider partners under the VSPP program in India to develop the orchestration layer on top of the VMware platform. Our offerings leverage VMware technologies to provide unprecedented levels of scalability and flexibility for our customers. We believe that the ability to deliver resources in time with our clients' needs, gives us a significant advantage in the market."
