eGroup, Inc. announced today its participation in the <a href="http://www.vmware.com/partners/vip/service-providers/">VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP)</a>.  This relationship will provide eGroup's customers access to new virtualization-enabled solutions, applications and services with proven reliability, broad application coverage and unique mobility features. 

This additional flexibility will allow eGroup customers to more effectively utilize their hardware resources through VMware virtualization solutions, enabling customers to do more with less. Instead of paying for a dedicated set of servers to run an application, the new cloud-computing model allows customers to dynamically scale their hardware requirements to match the needs of the application. If capacity demand rises, additional server and storage resources can be provisioned automatically.
<div>“We’re working with VMware to help ensure our clients have access to the latest technology in cloud hosting,” states Mike Carter, Principal at eGroup. “eGroup can now leverage the large range of applications that run on the VMware platform as well as the 1,000+ appliances in the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace.  Now, deploying new applications to the cloud or on premise is fast, easy and affordable.”</div>
