VMware Provide SDK/API Support Offering

If you spend any time developing applications and utilities (like these) utilising the VMware APIs then there is a high probability that you will have hit a brick wall at some point during the process. The VMware APIs aren’t the easiest in the world to work with. However, once you get past the first few common hurdles you will find that there is a refreshing amount of functionality and information in there which will keep you up all night as you code your next masterpiece!

For those developing commercial offerings there have been some issues with supportability of the API and SDKs in the past.

However, VMware have now launched a bolt on to your support contracts enabling you to obtain a high level of support to make sure your development efforts are successful.

Here is what VMware has to say about it
