Yesterday, 1/25 VMware announced the opening the VMware Solutions Exchange. It is an Online Virtualization and Cloud Solutions Marketplace where customers, partners and developers can converge to help simplify the process of evaluating and selecting business solutions through a centralized, self-service portal. I have always been a big fan of any of the VMware Community initiatives so this look like another nice addition. Any place that always VMware users and partners to share information, ideas and solutions is great think a definite benefit.
A New Way to Find Solutions for the Private and Public Cloud
- VMware has a robust community of more than 2,000 technology partners who have built more than 3,500 applications and 6,000 infrastructure products that are compatible with VMware’s portfolio of products.
- The VMware Solution Exchange offers partners and developers who complement, integrate or interoperate with VMware's portfolio of products a one-stop location to market and sell their solutions to potential customers.
- The proliferation of social media tools has evolved the way many people use the Internet to search, share and discover information, with user-generated feedback and community engagement playing an important role.
- The VMware Solution Exchange looks to provide this familiar experience, by empowering customers to utilize search tools, explore rich multimedia content, and directly engage with partners and developers to help ease the process of finding the right solution for their businesses.
