ISV Application Software
For Software partners with applications fully supported
by the partner and would like these applications tested by VMware to ensure reliable
operation under fully-loaded conditions. These partner products should not integrate or
interoperate with VMware products. Application Software products cannot use VMware
application programming interfaces (APIs) or other mechanisms for
integrating with or controlling VMware components.
Hardware Certification
For Hardware partners interested in highlighting their
products models that have met VMware standards defined in relevant hardware test
guides or test suites. Examples include server and storage array products.
Infrastructure Software
For two types of partners.
1) Partners interested in integrating their products with VMware products using
an SDK or API.
2) I/O partners interested in validating that their I/O devices work with
VMware vSphere and VMware ESXi.
Desktop Solutions
For Solution partners (Value Added Resellers) interested
in validating that a Solution Architecture meets functional and scalability
requirements set by VMware. With the VMware Ready Desktop Solutions program,
the end-customer gets a validated desktop solution delivered by a VMware Premier
Solution Provider Partner who has exhibited success in deployment of the reference implementation.
Horizon Mobile
For independent hardware vendors (‘IHVs’) to qualify their Android mobile devices to support
VMware Horizon MobileTM, which enables enterprises to securely customize and manage an
employee’s corporate workspace in isolation from an employee’s personal environment on
Android smartphones.
