eGroup today announces its completion of the prestigious VMware SRM Partner Program. VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) delivers advanced capabilities for disaster recovery management, non-disruptive testing and automated failover. SRM can manage failover from production datacenters to disaster recovery sites, as well as failover between two sites with active workloads. It can also help with planned datacenter failovers such as datacenter migrations.

After being hand selected by VMware for the exclusive SRM Partner training track, eGroup was required to meet rigorous training objectives including building its own internal interoperability lab with a variety of storage and replication mechanisms.

The SRM Partner program underscores eGroup’s commitment to work with market players that are shaping the technology landscape. One of the key benefits of participation in the program is technical excellence through early access to concentrated VMware SRM content to be used in developing customer-focused SRM solutions.

“Being selected for, and graduating from, the VMware SRM Partner Program is a huge recognition of the confidence that VMware and its partners have in eGroup and its delivery capabilities. As computing resources move to a cloud or grid format, you can expect that eGroup will deliver high-value, high-touch services to those customers adopting a cloud computing operating model” said Michael Carter, Principal with eGroup.
