Virtualization


VMware, Capgemini Ink Deal for V2B Services Offering

  • Written by Dave Courbanou 1
  • January 21, 2011
VMware and Capgemini, which provides consulting, tech and outsourcing services, has launched a new virtualization service suite.

VMware and Capgemini, which provides consulting, tech and outsourcing services, has launched a new virtualization service suite. Dubbed V2B: Virtualization to Business, the suite is designed to combine the business-savvy of Capgemini with VMware‘s technology prowess to create a virtualization program and roadmap that can help clients get into virtualization without the cost and headaches normally associated. Here’s the scoop …

VMware and Capgemini believe virtualization and cloud computing are inevitable, and if it isn’t on the CIO’s agenda it will be soon enough. V2B offers a transitional agenda to the CIO, making the entire virtualization transition model an IT-as-a-Service offering. VMware and Capgemini hope this method will help enable company business goals.

VMware and Capgemini will work together to craft and create the right kind of infrastructure model for each business, and hope their collaboration will spark a trend in “flexible consumption-based IT services,” noted Capgemini. V2B also aims to lower the barriers of virtualization adoption by helping redirect a company’s resources and strategies more effectively.

So how will this new offering impact traditional VARs and MSPs? Since Capgemini is a large service provider, it no doubt will go after the customers it deems worthy of its time and efforts, particularly in the Fortune 500 space. That leaves VARs and MSPs to reap the rewards of serving the rest of the enterprise. In fact, resellers may want to take a second look at Capgemini’s transition model approach and develop their own version.

In the future, can VARs and partners working with VMware build their own IT-as-a-Service relationship with some co-branding opportunities? Could be interesting…
