Platform9 has introduced a Partner Program designed to assist value-added resellers, systems integrators, and managed service providers in helping VMware customers transition to its Private Cloud Director. This program enables enterprises to leverage their existing storage and server infrastructure, facilitating a more cost-effective migration process.

iShift, a partner in the program, is actively migrating 40,000 VMware virtual machines to Platform9’s Private Cloud Director for a Fortune 500 company at significantly lower costs compared to traditional migration methods.

Mark Googins, CEO of iShift, stated, “Since its inception, iShift has been dedicated to helping businesses harness the power of virtualization. Our partnership with Platform9 is a natural evolution of that mission, combining our deep expertise in implementation with their approach to private cloud infrastructure.” He emphasized the potential of their collaboration to support enterprises with their virtualization migration services.

Enterprises migrating to Platform9’s Private Cloud Director benefit from a GUI-based interface for Virtual Machine (VM) management, essential virtualization management features, compatibility with existing infrastructure, and a streamlined migration experience.

Emilia A’Bell, Chief Revenue Officer of Platform9, commented on the launch: “We are announcing the Platform9 Partner Program to show our deep commitment to re-enabling the channel community that has been so adversely affected by changes to their VMware business.”

The Platform9 Partner Program includes comprehensive enablement resources for partners, such as hands-on labs, training, and performance incentives designed to drive revenue. Partners will also receive training focused on migration services utilizing Platform9’s tools.

In conjunction with its Partner Program, Platform9 is collaborating with technology vendors to support customers seeking to replace VMware while maximizing their investment in storage and servers. The Platform9 Private Cloud Director integrates with over 50 technology platforms, including notable names like NetApp and Dell EMC.
