Bharti Airtel has entered into partnership with VMware to extend its Managed Services portfolio. Bharti Airtel’s Managed Virtual Compute services will help reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) for customers looking to transition to next-generation data center architectures.
This collaboration aims to target the enormous market potential for cloud-based managed compute services in India by offering external IT infrastructure for customers, allowing them to increase or reduce compute capacity based on ever-changing business demands. Bharti Airtel will offer these cloud services based on the VMware vSphere platform. The company has also announced of joining the VMware Service Provider Programme (VSPP).
Rajan Swaroop, Executive Director – Enterprise Services, Bharti Airtel, said, “Bharti Airtel recognizes the need of its customers in the virtualization space and is happy to be collaborating with VMware in offering cloud-based services for our customers. This being a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, brings together strengths of Bharti Airtel’s managed services capabilities and highly reputed virtualization technologies from VMware.”
