Commenting on the collaboration with VMware, Matt Miszewski, Senior VP of Sales and Marketing for Digital Realty, said, “Our work with VMware is an important next step in our role as a business partner for our colocation and wholesale data centre clients. By offering pre-provisioned and on-demand services operated by VMware, we will eliminate the often burdensome process of cloud connectivity by providing our clients with a seamless extension to the cloud from their existing data centre locations in our facilities.”
