Mitel, the trusted provider of unified communications (UC) software solutions, has been recognised by VMware as a winner of a VMware Partner Network Award for Global Technology Innovator.
"VMware's partners continue to be the bedrock of our business, and we are pleased to recognise the great work they have accomplished throughout the year," said Doug Smith, senior director, global partner sales, VMware.
"VMware Partner Exchange brings partners together for four days filled with training, education and networking with peers - making this the premier event to help them strengthen their virtualisation practices and distinguish themselves in the marketplace. We congratulate Mitel, and we look forward to continuing our work together to help deliver virtualisation solutions for customers building private cloud infrastructures."
Mitel and VMware recently announced Virtual Mitel Communications Director (Virtual MCD), part of the new Mitel Virtual Solutions software portfolio. As a virtual appliance, Virtual MCD leverages VMware vSphere 4 to enable customers to consolidate Mitel's leading voice applications alongside non-voice business applications in the data centre. Mitel and VMware already have a number of joint customers that have deployed Virtual MCD.
"For nearly two years, Mitel and VMware have been working together to solve the latency issues with virtualising voice," said Andy Bull, MD for Mitel SA.
"This collaboration has led to the industry's first real-time voice communications applications running in a virtualised data centre environment. We look forward to continuing to develop innovative solutions with VMware that have the potential to drive capital and operational savings, productivity improvements and resource efficiencies in data centre management, and risk mitigation for business continuity and disaster recovery plans," said Bull.
