Size Matters

Triple the size of every HPE server deal by attaching VMware licensing through HPE

With VMware having the greatest market share in virtualisation, this represents a huge opportunity for our Partners.

By attaching VMware licensing to every server sale purchased through HPE, you’ll benefit from extremely competitive pricing. In addition, you’ll also be able to provide benefits that only HPE and Ingram Micro can offer.

Because a little effort can bring big reward

Here’s little more detail behind the VMware support license…

HPE and its partners offer Global Support that delivers first and second-level support for your VMware environment
HPE offers local language support and subscriptions at the same list price as VMware, and often far better when part of a larger deal
HPE OEM VMware is the exact same product as VMware native/direct, but HPE provides 24x7 support. Customers enjoy one point of contact for infrastructure and VMware software support
HPE PointNext Tech Care Support handles 96% of all level 1 and level 2 calls without escalation to Level 3 with VMware. VMware has a team dedicated to HPE if level 3 support is required

HPE provides perpetual licenses for the VMware products they sell and include in joint solutions
Customers have the right to use the software perpetually; however, they must maintain SnS (Subscription & Support) to get updates, new releases and fixes
There can, and may be, some confusion between VMware’s “embedded” licenses and “perpetual” licenses. Perpetual licenses provided by HPE as an OEM partner may be re-hosted to another platform
All licenses can be positioned in an ELA for both parties. All have the same licensing rights, features, and capabilities as the VMware Native Licenses. All licenses are managed via the MyVMware portal, just like VMware Native licenses
