Townsend Security has been a VMware partner for many years. I’ve always found their technical and marketing teams great to work with. A decade ago we started with a basic partnership, then achieved a PCI Data Security Standard validation of Alliance Key Manager through their partnership with Coalfire, and then achieved certified status of our key manager with VMware encrypted VMs and vSAN. Now we are working towards an enhanced marketplace presence where our customers can actually purchase our key manager through the VMware marketplace portal.

Here is a blog that we wrote together and just published on the VMware blog:

If you are a VMware partner and have a solution that enhances the VMware customer environment you should really look at the new marketplace features!
