Importance of SMM Reseller Panel for VMware

Customers are always looking for trusted partners to ensure the security and reliability of their virtualization environment. This is especially true for customers running on VMware. To ensure customers have an opportunity to purchase SMM reselling products at a level of quality, quality, and stability that they’ve come to expect from us, we’re introducing a new reselling program for our VMware Virtualization Reseller Program. The Smm panel consists of a set of active and passive certified resellers from around the world, in order to provide customers a trusted reseller to source and acquire our products. 

The SMM Reseller Panel (SMRM) will be available as part of the VMware Reseller Program. SMRM is a reseller program that provides opportunities for authorized resellers to sell our industry leading products directly to VMware customers and partners. In addition to reselling our products, the SMM Reselling Panel offers these participating retailers the opportunity to gain exposure to the VMware ecosystem and provide the ability to acquire, test, qualify, and deploy our solutions. The VMware Virtualization Reseller Program is a multi-tiered, incentive-based sales compensation program. The primary reason for supporting this program is to allow our partners to focus on products that support VMware customers.
