With the integration, customers using VMware infrastructure can extend mission-critical applications and workloads to Virtustream Enterprise Cloud.

This reaffirms our leadership in supporting an enterprise’s most critical applications, no matter what their choice is for governance and control. We continue our realization of this vision with this release and beta program to rapidly iterate to that goal.”
