Earning the VMware Cross-Cloud managed services badge signifies Xtravirt’s expertise in delivering VMware validated managed services offerings (VSOs) and provides assurance to customers that Xtravirt has the necessary skills and business practices to deliver services which build on and integrate VMware technologies.
In today’s changeable times, organisations seek certainty when looking for ways to tackle IT challenges and deliver their targeted business outcomes. With a track record of enabling customers to accelerate time to value for cross cloud strategies and bridge IT skills gaps, Xtravirt has become the trusted partner to many businesses, delivering predictable outcomes and success where complexity prevails.
When looking for a trusted partner, Xtravirt believes that the VMware Cross-Cloud managed services provider badge will be of great help to customers.
