VMware Certifies Venture As An Enterprise Solutions Provider

Ridgeland, Mississippi - May 5, 2009

Today, Venture Technologies, an IT Solutions Provider, announces that has met all of the requirements to be recognized as a VMware Enterprise Solutions Provider.

VMware’s industry leading software platforms “virtualize” the components of a server – including the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller – to create a fully functional virtual machine that can host multiple operating systems and share resources dynamically, thus dramatically optimizing an organization’s IT infrastructure investment. VMware solutions can virtualize a single server or transform an entire data center into an incredibly efficient, reliable and scalable “cloud” architecture.
