VMware Volume Purchasing Program

Maximize your virtualization for the fastest time-to-value through the new VMware Volume Purchasing Program (VPP). The new accumulative VMware VPP provides incremental, tier-based discounts for VMware customers over a rolling two-year period. The new accumulative VPP also offers online tools that VMware customers can use to track and manage VPP memberships and discounts. 

Enterprise License Agreement (ELA)

Purchase, Deployment, Support and Training
VMware’s Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) gives your organization a cost-effective and time-efficient path to reaching the full potential of your virtual environment. Organizations committed to standardizing on VMware should consider an ELA for the fastest time-to-value.

Available on all VMware products and services, the ELA program gives you a strategic relationship. For any eligible order of VMware licenses, you get a discount on the cost of licenses plus deployment, support and training services available from VMware.

You determine your deployment period and your use of the software. You get clear budget visibility with a fixed price for the life of the ELA, as well as a fixed renewal fee for all licenses at the end of the ELA period.

Single license keys speed deployment. Administration is eased with no internal sign-offs, no asset tracking plus co-termed maintenance for accurate, predictable Storage and Subscription (SnS).

Choose unlimited or capped deployment of the VMware licenses during the ELA term. ELAs can also be structured to fit your organization, including fencing restrictions like limited scope by geography, business unit, subsidiaries, use of software or other factors. 

VMware Purchasing Program (VPP)

VMware’s Volume Purchasing Program (VPP) is designed to reward customers purchasing in volume with the opportunity for discounts on the cost of licenses.

VPP offers customers the opportunity to qualify for one of four discount bands. Your discount level is determined by the size of your initial order. The more you order in a single transaction, the higher the applicable discount band.

Your discount band also applies to future qualifying purchases of $10,000 or more during the subsequent 12-month period.

To calculate VPP point totals specific to your order and determine discount levels for your organization, contact a Clearpath account manager.

VPP discounts are directly correlated to a customer’s accumulated points total. As an accumulated points total changes, so may the eligible VPP discount level.
U.S. federal customers are eligible to receive volume discounts using their current program. Academic SKUs are not eligible for VPP.
