Passing the extensive VMware-specified testing helps ensure that HyperIP integrates consistently with VMware technology and is ready for deployment in customer environments.

"We are pleased that HyperIP qualifies for the VMware Ready logo, signifying to customers that it has passed specific VMware testing and interoperability criteria and is ready to run in production environments," said Bernie Mills, Senior Director, Alliance Programs, VMware.

"Customers that chose a VMware Ready solution will benefit from a safe and reduced risk solution with lower integration costs.  A VMware Ready solution tells our customers that HyperIP will fit into their long term virtualization investment, leveraging the unique capabilities of VMware virtualization while accelerating virtual machines and other VMware application data across geographically dispersed WANs.  It also automates and accelerates disaster recovery operations such as VMware Site Recovery Manager and eliminates the distance and performance bottlenecks that can hamper WAN-based operations for virtual machines running leading backup, migration and DR applications," said Robert MacIntyre, NetEx Vice President of Business Development and Marketing.

The VMware Ready program is a VMware co-branding program for qualified partner products and is a benefit of the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. The VMware TAP program works with best-of-breed technology partners to provide them a comprehensive set of VMware technical and marketing services, support, tools and expertise to deliver enhanced value to joint customers.
