European carrier COLT has become a fully fledged member of the VMware vCloud initiative.
Under the initiative, VMware works with cloud providers to deliver enterprise-ready service without locking in the customer. This enables partners to offer their customers flexibility and choice, regardless of hardware, operating system or applications.
COLT has previously implemented VMware solutions for its customers, but chose to strengthen its cloud offering by joining the vCloud initiative.
