AirVM is the first VMware ISV ecosystem partner to integrate the AirSembly cloud commercialization portal with VMware vCD 5.6 for vCloud Air Network service providers
Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) December 04, 2014
AirVM, a global cloud enablement software company, today announced general availability of the AirSembly vCD portal, the latest release of its cloud marketplace portal for VMware vCloud Director (vCD) 5.6. With this announcement, AirVM is the first VMware Independent Software Vendor (ISV) ecosystem partner to deliver VMware vCloud Air Network Service Providers with a turnkey cloud portal, purpose-built for vCD 5.6.
AirSembly is an award-winning cloud marketplace portal that makes it incredibly simple for service providers and software companies to sell, provision, manage, and bill for cloud services, through any type of distribution model. AirSembly has a storefront for creating, white-label customizing, and quoting cloud services; provisioning and management tools for cloud services automation, tracking & reporting; and automated billing and invoicing for each level in the sales channel, for all types of cloud services.
“Since AirVM’s inception in 2008, VMware has been a strategic partner,” says Joshua Vautour, CEO of AirVM. “While other cloud portal providers have built their products to be hypervisor agnostic, AirSembly is exclusively-built for VMware, the leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure solutions. With today’s announcement, AirVM has achieved the industry’s most comprehensive and feature-rich automation with VMware vCD. This builds on the deep integration AirSembly has with vSphere and vCloud Networking & Security. VMware’s global network of vCloud Air Network Service Providers now have a way to access new vCD 5.6 features such as virtual machine monitoring that are only available from an ISV portal."
“VMware vCloud Director 5.6 is the first release designed exclusively for VMware vCloud Air Network Service Providers,” says Geoff Waters, vice president of service provider channel, Cloud Services Business Unit, VMware. “We are thrilled that AirVM is providing a vCD portal to the vCloud Air Network Service Provider community to simplify and accelerate the commercialization of VMware-based cloud services.”
Leading VMware vCloud Air Network Service Providers chose the AirSembly vCD portal.
