Zoho is about offering Online Business, Productivity & Collaboration applications. These apps are delivered from our data centers serving millions of users worldwide. Apart from our standard public cloud
offering, some of our applications are deployed with strategic partners and within large enterprises, behind their firewalls.
We currently have partners like NTT who deployed Zoho in Japan serving
the local market. Similarly, Baihui currently offers Zoho Apps in China with a local deployment. Some enterprises have also deployed Zoho Apps behind their firewalls. In all these cases, our apps are deployed on Zoho recommended hardware. What if an enterprise wants to run our apps on a different hardware or VM?
We are excited to announce a new relationship with VMware. Zoho Apps can now run on VMware's vSphere. Enterprises will now have an option to deploy Zoho Apps behind their firewall either on Zoho recommended hardware or on VMware's vSphere. We will be showcasing this new deployment option at VMworld this week at the vCloud Pavilion.
We are excited about this new relationship/offering with VMware and it
is great to see the same level of interest from VMware as well. To quote Dan Chu, VP of emerging products and markets, VMware:
Customers are continually looking for ways to simplify their IT environments. For customers that wish to run their Zoho applications on-premise, VMware vSphere™ 4 provides the foundation for delivering these applications as a private cloud service inside their own firewall and datacenter — retaining the Web-based simplicity and efficiency benefits of Zoho’s applications while keeping the applications and data in-house.
For large enterprises, 'keeping the applications and data in-house' is the key. We recently offered 'Zoho Office for Microsoft SharePoint' along the same lines - keeping the data behind the firewall while taking advantage of
cloud applications. Now, with both apps and data behind the firewall, it opens up new integration possibilities with other enterprise applications.
With this new private deployment model, we bring the benefits of cloud
applications to enterprises. This deployment option is currently available for businesses with over 10,000 employees.
If you are at VMworld, drop by the Zoho booth at the vCloud pavilion.
Great! You should bundle this offer into a container like the SUN S20 and you can ask for companies to have power, network and cool water only ;-)

Rahul: Zoho apps have been available for deployment behind firewalls (on premise) for large enterprises with more than 10,000 users on Zoho-specified hardware. This partnership extends that functionality to VMware's vSphere.Zailani: Thanks. Any specific APIs you have in mind?

Wow, been waiting for this...many companies are concerned about security when it comes to cloud computing..this will solve the problem...will vSphere include other APIs as well?
