The Vates Partner Program is designed to help you capitalize on the rapidly shifting virtualization market. With the recent acquisition of VMware by Broadcom, many businesses are actively seeking alternatives to VMware, Citrix Hypervisor, Microsoft HyperV, and RedHat.

If you wish to deploy and sell Vates VMS in very large infrastructures (more than 100 hosts), we can create a custom offer for you. This offer will include an extra discount for your end-users, dependent on the volume of hosts.
What is the difference between a reseller and a partner?
To be part of our partner program, you are expected to actively prospect for new customers to introduce Vates VMS. On the other hand, a reseller is a company that sells Vates VMS only when it is requested by their customers. Note that to keep the partner status, you will be required to sell at least 2 licenses each year.
