PARTNER SEARCH

Required skills and Expertise: Any person who has developed / integrated software on a virtualization base will understand the value of ViPlat.

• Universities and research organizations to contribute in requirements gathering, formal modelling, verification and validations
  
• Virtualization tool developers to contribute by enhancing their virtualization tools
• European software vendors in software targeted to individual use as well as corporate use, i.e. virus scanners, content filters, firewalls, to participate in prototypes
  
• European software vendors in software targeted to server and network setups, i.e. remote management software, backup solutions, to participate in prototypes
• Users, including European service firms and datacenter operators (both government and commercial) to develop requirements of datacenter scenarios.
• Standardization related organizations to validate compliancy with current standards and to champion contribution to future standards and revisions.
• Law firms to assist in licensing issues of virtualized setups of mixed open source and commercial software
• ICT associations and organizations to effectively disseminate the results

• Open source projects in these subjects are more than welcome
• All partners are welcome in software development
• ViPlat itself will be open source
