VMblog:  Can you give readers a few reasons why your product or service is considered unique? 

Virtustream:  Virtustream is the name and mission-critical cloud solutions is our game. For enterprise-class customers looking to move their business-critical workloads to the cloud, like SAP applications or Epic's EHR platform, a stop by Virtustream's booth is a must. Our Virtustream Enterprise Cloud platform is purpose-built to address the availability and performance needs of mission-critical applications, and we have the time-tested experience and expertise to handle the largest, most complex workloads in the clouds.

Virtustream:  Is SAP's 2025 deadline for S4/HANA closing in on your long-term IT strategy? Then a MUST SEE stop at VMworld 2019 is Virtustream's booth (#1827). Did you know Virtustream has migrated more than 2,500 SAP applications to the clouds over the past decade?  Born in the clouds, Virtustream is the trusted cloud partner of choice for hundreds of enterprise organizations around the world.

VMblog:  How does your company and product fit within the VMware ecosystem?

Virtustream:  Virtustream and VMware are both part of the Dell Technologies family of businesses and tightly align to meet customer needs. Here are just a few of the ways that they collaborate and drive innovation into their solutions: Virtustream is currently one of only two cloud partners who can sell and manage the Azure VMware Solution (the Azure VMware Solution by Virtustream will be available later in 2019); and Virtustream's Enterprise Cloud is built on the full VMware SDDC stack and is a VMware Cloud Verified solution (of more than 4,200 cloud partners in VMware's ecosystem, only 50 vendors have earned this elite classification around the world).
