Rimini Street Selected by 100+ Organizations as their Preferred Support Solution for VMware

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of end-to-end enterprise software support, management and innovation solutions, and the leading third-party support provider for Oracle, SAP and VMware software, announces a new client milestone, surpassing 100 VMware contracts served to date.

Selected by the some of the world’s leading CIOs at global organizations as their preferred VMware support partner for perpetual licenses, Rimini Support™ for VMware continues to lead the market as a powerful, proven solution for protecting and maximizing the full value of VMware investments. By partnering with Rimini Street and benefitting from the premium support, exclusive security services and expert guidance, clients are effectively lowering IT operating costs, achieving fast, complete resolution for priority tickets, and gaining freedom, flexibility and time to make informed decisions for their hypervisor roadmap strategy.

“We were already Rimini Street customers for support of our SAP applications, so the transition to include VMware felt natural,” said Jefferson Andriotti, head of IT and supply at Lwart Soluções Ambientais, a Brazilian renewable energy service provider. “Faced with two choices: either pay Broadcom’s new licensing costs or engage Rimini Street for support for VMware, we chose the path that made sense. Our IT team was already familiar with Rimini Street, and we could seamlessly transition our VMware support with the same expectations of exceptional service.”

For organizations who are already Rimini Support clients for Oracle, SAP, Salesforce or the hundreds of other products supported by Rimini Street, adding Rimini Support for VMware has become a force multiplier in savings and efficiencies gained.

“We recognize VMware perpetual licensees are facing uncertainty about their path forward,” said Rodney Kenyon, SVP of Rimini Support™ solutions. “At Rimini Street, we empower our VMware clients to remain secure, receive exceptional support service and gain time to explore all viable options with the confidence that their VMware investments will run smoothly for years to come.”

Rimini Protect™ Advanced Hypervisor Security (AHS) delivers peace of mind

Exploits against hypervisors can be particularly devastating, with potential impact across all virtual machines hosted through a single breach. Rimini Support for VMware clients have the added benefit of the included Rimini Protect™ Advanced Hypervisor Security (AHS), powered by Vali Cyber®, an exclusive, integrated, zero-day proactive protection that stops malware, ransomware, and other threats with real-time detection – all without operating system or code changes.

“Waking up to news of a zero-day vulnerability being exploited is never enjoyable, as it forces security teams to immediately focus on mitigation efforts,” said Gabe Dimeglio, CISO, SVP & GM of Rimini Protect™ and Rimini Watch™ solutions. “Rimini Protect Advanced Hypervisor Security is the industry’s first purpose-built hypervisor security solution that effectively neutralizes threats before they become an issue. It’s protection without any downtime or impact on business operations, or reliance on vendor patches. It’s one of the many reasons why VMware licensees are selecting Rimini Street as their preferred solution to support and protect their critical systems.”

"As a Rimini Street client, we appreciate the proactive approach to security and the comprehensive protection offered by Rimini Protect Advanced Hypervisor Security for our VMware hypervisor environment,” said Dana Howard, IT operations and security manager at Bluebird Fiber, a US-based fiber internet and data transport provider. "The Rimini Street security team has been incredible and true experts in their field, and their support has made our VMWare journey seamless and impactful. I’m excited about what we’ll accomplish in the future!”
