AEP Networks today announced it has joined the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. The VMware TAP program helps technology vendors integrate their products with VMware virtualization software and deliver timely, joint solutions to mutual customers.

"We are excited to welcome AEP Networks as the newest member of the VMware TAP program," said Bernie Mills, senior director, alliance programs, VMware. "The VMware TAP program offers companies like AEP Networks the tools and resources they need to develop high-value solutions that meet the needs of our mutual customers."

AEP Networks announced its virtual appliance, AEP Netilla SSL VPN Virtual Edition (Netilla VE), in September 2008. Netilla VE is a virtual machine supporting VMware ESX that enables customers to quickly and easily spin-up new SSL VPNs to address their growing and changing business needs, while at the same time leveraging all the benefits of virtualization.
