• #9: Data Services – backups eating space VM granularity (Big Iron – X VMs , one application on 1 physical server, (Pet – lot of grooming, cattle – notified only when an error is done)
• #11: Point 2 – We have improved it with VASA 1.0
• #15: Left side vR Ops (Vmware) and partners are right side is partner responsibility Partner 2 types of responsibility 1- Detailed management pack for specific objects (storage, switch etc) 2 – They will have to provide interfaces for Vmware solutions to work end to end (support for VASA, SSD needs to be SMART, SMI-S for switches)

• #32: SDDC Solution Competencies Boost Profitability and Expertise. Solution Competencies enable partners to build sales and technical expertise across VMware’s solutions. Partners who invest achieve 2-4x greater annual sales and earn up to 10% in Solution Rewards rebates. Introducing three new SDDC Solution Competencies. 1. Management Operations Competency updated for vRealize Operations 6.0 (formerly VC Ops) Be the first to attend new sales and technical boot camps updated for vRealize Operations 6.0, VMware’s flagship management solution for vSphere 6.0. Build proficiency selling and implementing Operations Management technology. The Management Operations Competency is ideal for Partners who want to update their customer base to vSphere 6.0 with Operations Management. Along with new license sales and renewals, Partners have an opportunity to deliver their own data center efficiency and vSphere optimization projects. Note: Partners who already hold the Management Operations competency (versions 5.6 or earlier) should update to 6.0 as we’ve made significant enhancements to vRealize Operations Manager and introduced entirely new competency courseware. Register for PEX boot camps and earn up to 10% Solution Rewards. 2. Management Automation Competency Ideal for Partners who sell and implement automation and provisioning projects Be recognized for your Cloud IaaS sales and implementation expertise. This competency is ideal for advisory partners who help customers architect cloud automation strategies, process and policies, and implement provisioning technologies to streamline the delivery of applications and IT services. 3. New SDDC Solution Competency Build a practice selling and implementing software-defined storage, networking and data center solutions. The new SDDC competency is designed for partners to develop depth and breadth in selling and deploying SDDC solutions. Achieve sales and implementation proficiency in software-defined data center, storage, networking and management solutions and receive additional incentives and benefits. This is our way of rewarding partners who have invested in multiple SDDC solutions and recognizing their unique capabilities. Additional details about this competency will be available at launch in Q2.

To succeed in the software-defined world, you must move from selling a product or capability to selling an “IT outcome,” or an end result that a customer cares about. VMware IT Outcomes training helps sellers lead results-oriented conversations with CIOs and executive technical buyers. This training, available now, is a new requirement for the updated Server Virtualization Competency 6.0 and SDDC competencies (Q1). IT Outcomes training may be required in additional solution competencies, where application (Q2).
• #34: vSphere Optimization Assessment is a a proven best practice sales acceleration tool included in the vSOM Power Play.
