VMware has found a partner to help it spread the gospel of virtualization in China. It’s teamed up with the leading Chinese server maker, Inspur Servers, which will sell, distribute, and support VMware’s Infrastructure suite.

CEO Diane Greene said VMware believes the alliance will allow builders of Chinese data centers to conserve energy and consolidate servers at an earlier stage than their European and American counterparts. China’s rapid growth “has spurred the need for customers to adopt the best solutions for meeting business demands while enabling a green data center,” she said.

The potential growth in demand for infrastructure, for IT services continues in the BRIC countries including China, as we bring more consumers online, bring new services and create new opportunities, we need cost and energy efficient infrastructure to achieve this working within our current and future operational constraints. It will be great to see how companies like VMWare reach out to these differing regions, what differences there are in the way they do business, in their requirements etc. We’ll have to see, do check it out.
