What is it
What Is the VMware Customers List?
It is exactly what the name says: the companies that use VMware, and the named infrastructure leaders inside them. Each row pairs one of those people with the account they work at, and carries their business email, direct phone number, job title, and the firmographics of the company behind them. Sales and marketing teams use it to run campaigns straight at those accounts.
The companies on it run VMware in production across vSphere, vSAN, NSX, VMware Cloud Foundation, Tanzu, Aria, and Carbon Black, and we tag which of those products are live on each account. The people on it are the ones who sign: Director of Virtualization, Director of Hybrid Cloud, VP IT Infrastructure, and the CIO above them.
For context on the size of the opportunity, VMware historically reported more than 300,000 customer accounts worldwide. After Broadcom's $69B acquisition closed in November 2023, the portfolio was reorganised around VMware Cloud Foundation as the strategic subscription bundle, which is reshaping renewal cycles and accelerating the market for migration alternatives.

Leverage the VMware Customers List for a Seamless B2B Marketing Experience
With the VMware customers list you target high-profile decision makers who are genuinely interested in investing in technologies like yours, rather than a broad IT audience that was never going to buy.

This is a full database rather than a column of addresses. Every record carries the firmographics, deployment detail, and named contact your team needs, so a profit-oriented campaign runs on facts instead of guesswork and you are not cleaning the file before you can use it.
Do not miss out. Put the VMware users email list to work and walk the extra mile toward a positive outcome in your lead generation, with the deployment context that tells you which of the companies using VMware to approach first.
