Bluelock Participates in VMware Cloud Credits Purchasing Program

Redeem Cloud Credits to Access Bluelock’s Enterprise Cloud IaaS Offerings


(Indianapolis, Ind. – March 8, 2013) – Bluelock, a certified VMware vCloud® Datacenter provider of virtual datacenters is proud to announce its participation in VMware’s Cloud Credits Purchasing Program. By purchasing cloud credits from a VMware Solution provider, customers can redeem credits over time with service providers such as Bluelock. The pre-paid credits allow business users to gain fast access to public or hybrid cloud services.


VMware cloud credits can be redeemed with participating VMware technology-based Infrastructure-as-a-Service vCloud providers. The program will maximize a business-user’s existing investment in VMware technology by easily connecting to Bluelock’s compatible cloud infrastructure. Companies previously unfamiliar with cloud will gain easy access to take advantage of cloud economics. VMware Cloud Credits give business users increased budget flexibility, while providing control and visibility of their cloud spend.


“As a vCloud Datacenter service provider, we are very pleased to be a part of the VMware Cloud Credits Purchasing Program,” said John Qualls, senior vice president of business development at Bluelock. “We feel strongly about enabling our users to maintain control of their cloud budget while accessing secure, enterprise-grade resources. With Bluelock Portfolio™ our users have full visibility into their cloud spend and resource usage. This program is yet another way to make sure we are giving our users all the resources they need to truly understand and manage the cost of IT.”


“We are excited that Bluelock is participating in the Cloud Credit Purchasing Program,” said Geoff Waters, senior director of Cloud Service Provider Programs at VMware. “Bluelock, as a vCloud Datacenter Service Provider, has been a VMware Partner for over 5 years now. We believe this is an innovative cloud channel model, effectively extending our ecosystem of Solution Provider’s cloud portfolio.”
