VMware’s vCloud & Opus Internactive: CSP wave begins

CSP or Cloud Service Provider, might probably be the new trend where everyone will battle for stronger and robuster CloudITSM and ITIL v3 and go after the consumer market. The great convergence wave has just begun and soon Telco’s are about to wage massive battles — as this convergence also means a painful contractionary move. VMware can play a major role, given its popular status with its virtualization technology, to help the private clouds [ basically internal or near-internal hosted IT services] with some multi-featured packed technology for a technological upfresh. And Opus might, in turn, open its door to newer customers; one thing obviously will remain: prices have got to go down, if you are going down market.
Managed services provider Opus Interactive (www.opusinteractive.com) has become a service provider for VMware’s (www.vmware.com) vCloud initiative, aimed at helping enterprises and service providers of all sizes safely tap compute capacity inside and outside their firewalls.
According to VMWare, its vCloud initiative is meant to deliver cloud computing services across a common platform, which supports the most existing applications, and “carries the distinctive mobility features only available from VMware.”
Its VMware Service Provider Program is a framework that allows service and hosting providers to offer VMware’s virtualization solutions in a way that fits with their business model, creating new opportunities for providers to offer virtualization enabled solutions, applications and services.
According to Opus Interactive’s announcement late last week, its membership in the service provider program helps assure customers of the availability and quality of service for any application, whether running internally or as a service.
