VMware pushes hosted virtualisation
VMware has launched an offering which it claims will increase the reliability of hosted services and applications for end-user organisations.
On Wednesday, the company launched its Service Provider Program (VSPP), which is aimed at Web hosting providers, application providers, telecoms companies, outsourcing companies like IBM Global Services and EDS, and managed services companies.
The solution could help these types of companies to provide virtualised applications and other services to their enterprise customers, according to Reza Malekzadeh, the director of product marketing for VMware in Europe.
"At VMware we know that virtualisation can give better reliability and more flexibility to customers," he told our sister site ZDNet.co.uk. "We have seen fast growth but, at the low end, web hosters have seen this growth slow down."
