VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP) Overview

The VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP) is a cornerstone of VMware's vCloud initiative. VSPP was designed to help ensure a successful partnership with VMware, through offering benefits such as support and tools through which partners can develop, promote, and sell their VMware-based products, services and solutions.

VSPP Partners ("Service Providers") will find a detailed review of the VMware Service Provider Program, including program benefits, requirements, and important notes on how to take advantage of all this program has to offer. VMware wants to make certain Service Providers receive the greatest possible benefit from the VMware Service Provider Program.
