Sendmail Sentrion Virtual Message Processor Achieves VMware Ready Status
October 2009 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Sendmail, Inc., announced that its Sentrion® Virtual Message Processor™ (MPV) has achieved VMware Ready™ status. This designation indicates that Sentrion MPV™ has passed a detailed evaluation and testing process managed by VMware and is now listed in the VMware Partner Product Catalog and on the Virtual Appliance Marketplace.
Passing the extensive VMware-specified testing helps ensure that Sentrion MPV is compatible with VMware technology and ready for deployment in customer environments.
Virtual appliances are pre-built, pre-configured, ready to run enterprise applications packaged with an operating system inside a virtual machine, allowing Sentrion MPV customers to reduce costs through server and application consolidation. By reducing the number of servers through virtualisation, customers realise direct cost savings in hardware, floor space, and power and cooling. As a result, both capital expenses and ongoing operational expenses are decreased, which are key drivers in today’s data centres.
