VMware’s Volume Purchasing program (VPP) is an end customer purchasing program that lets you achieve significant cost savings on eligible VMware software purchases. Qualifying orders placed with VMware using your VPP membership number accumulate points. As the accumulated points total increases, so does your potential savings. With the new VPP, your organization can also extend VPP membership benefits to its authorized affiliates. Member and affiliate purchases contribute toward the overall discount level, offering maximum savings.

•Receive financial incentives when you purchase VMware products in volume with VPP discounts on eligible license products
•Achieve budget predictability since discounts are guaranteed for up to 2 years
•Simplify your acquisition of VMware software through a standardized purchasing program

End customers may use their VPP membership number to purchase VMware products at a discounted price off VMware's then current local MSRP prices. However, discounts under VMware VPP are passed down to end customers only through VMware authorized channel partners. VMware does not set final prices, actual discounts, or payment terms for licenses acquired through such channel partners. Final prices and payment terms are determined by agreement between the customer and their channel partner.
