The Company provides virtualization and virtualization-based cloud infrastructure solutions utilized by businesses to help them transform the way they build, deliver and consume information technology resources in a manner that is evolutionary and based on their specific needs.

VMware Cloud Application Platform solutions help organizations build, run and manage enterprise applications in public, private or hybrid clouds optimized for vSphere. Its Cloud Application Platform provides open source application frameworks, application run-time and data management solutions and an open platform as a service, or PaaS. Its End-User Computing solutions provide the ability to manage software as a service (‘SaaS’), Windows, Mobile or enterprise applications. Additional VMware offerings are designed to enhance seamless communication and collaboration between end users. It works with more than 2,100 technology partners, including server, microprocessor, storage, networking, software and security vendors. It derives a majority of its revenues from its large indirect sales channel, which includes distributors, resellers, system vendors and systems integrators.
