VMware, the majority-owned virtualization unit of storage giant EMC, has entered into two new reseller agreements with Cisco and Mitel, a provider of call center solutions.

The relationship with Cisco focuses on the enterprise. VMware View 5 will be bundled together with the Cisco Unified Computing System to power client companies’ VDI deployments, as well as the networking giant’s ecosystem of partners. View will become available for channel partners and customers directly from Cisco by the second quarter of this year according to the companies, in addition to capital financing for those that will order the integrated the solution. The original release can be found here along with the full statement issued by VMware’s end-user computing chief Vittorio Viarengo.

“With View 5, we delivered WAN bandwidth enhancements, advanced 3-D graphics and scalable unified communications. This resell agreement with Cisco and new channel enablement resources can help our partners and customers accelerate their virtualization and cloud journey, and deliver highly secure, centrally managed virtual desktops with advanced multimedia capabilities.”

Mitel is the second new VMer that announced a partnership of its own with the company today. The call center globalization provider unveiled two things with this announcement: the newly integrated and renamed Contact Center Solution for VMware View, plus the Unified Communicator Advanced desktop client. Mitel’s value proposition is that its new relationship with the virtualization firm will help clients better scale support resources according to consumer demand, and manage these resources more effectively thanks to a centralized approach.

VMware’s previous related milestone was last month, around the same time it lost its head of worldwide partnerships to a more tempting offer by MapR. It launched a web-based catalog featuring resellers’ products, with social integration to allow more meaningful and straight-forward talk between buyers and sellers.
