A member of the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP), Opus Interactive provides its VMware vCloud Powered service as a set of cloud computing services across a common platform, supporting the largest set of existing applications and offering distinctive application mobility uniquely available from VMware.

“The VMware vCloud® Powered program was developed to enable our service provider partners to differentiate themselves and help them bring their enterprise-class cloud services to market in this competitive landscape,“ said Don Schleicher, vice president, service providers,VMware. “We look forward to supporting Opus Interactive further as it delivers on the agility and performance customers are looking for in the cloud computing landscape.”
