As we continue to grow the partnership and work with VMware, it’s enabling us to become more efficient in our processes and allows us to grant more wishes.”

Travis Gibson, Director of IT Infrastructure, Security and Operations, Make-A-Wish America

Every year, approximately 27,000 children are diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions. Headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in the U.S. and in 50 countries worldwide. Global IT service provider and VMware Cloud Provider partner PhoenixNAP helped Make-A-Wish provide access to the same data across all chapters in real time, reducing the time required to fulfill wishes. With VMware cloud solutions, Make-A-Wish data is secure, the website can handle traffic spikes with elastic cloud services, and staffers can focus on making sick kids’ wishes come true.
