Hello.

In the last couple of days, we have been trying to contact one of your partners here in Cost Rica, CESA, to explore the options we have to buy support for a VMWare Server installation we have in the Company. They have been repeatedly denying to talk to us, arguing that the VMWare Server product we have (which is available for free), is illegal software if we use it.

We require support to troubleshoot a performance problem we are experiencing in a VMWare Server installation we have on a 4-Quad Core machine. We are even open to consider additional options, such as getting ESX, if it is that the technical support recommends us so.

However, it has been impossible to talk to this partner.

It is clear that CESA is completely unaware of the product offerings you have.

Regards,

Eduardo Quiros-Campos / Project Manager / ArtinSoft

Eduardo,

Sorry to hear of the challengesyou have had in getting information about support options for VMware Server.

The support options for VMware Server are described on the product support page:

http://www.vmware.com/support/services/server.html

This includes a number of self help resources and a product forum. If you desire something more direct and personal, you can also elect to purchase Gold or Platinum support for VMware Server through VMware's Online Store. This service should also be available through your reseller, but you might want to try the online store route since your reseller was not aware of the program.

See here for details on purchasing Platinum or Gold support for Server through VMware's online store:
