Virtualization allows your current
computer hardware to perform more
functionality, saving you time, money
and energy. Virtualization allows one
single computer to run multiple
operating systems and multiple
applications at the same time,
increasing the utilization and
flexibility of your hardware.
How does VMware work?
VMware software is installed onto the
computer hardware creating virtual
machines. This software allocates
hardware resources so that multiple
operating systems can run concurrently
on a single physical computer.
Virtualization through VMware offers a
scalable solution that can be expanded
across hundreds of interconnected
physical computers and storage devices.
Expanding virtualization allows for an
entire virtual infrastructure saving
valuable time and resources. The
benefits from virtualization are
numerous: Applications are deployed in
minutes rather then days, utilization of
servers are increased well above 60% and
cost savings on each workload
virtualized can be more than $3,000
annually. Virtualization has improved
recovery time from unplanned downtime by
85%. These are just a few of the many
benefits of virtualization organizations
from Fortune 100 to small business are
realizing.
Millions of people and thousands of
organizations use VMware virtualization
solutions to reduce IT costs while
increasing the efficiency, utilization
and flexibility of their existing
computer hardware.
Virtualization breaks the old one
application to one server “ruleâ€,
increasing current hardware resources
utilization.
The number of services and related IT hardware
can be reduced, which in turn reduces the amount of
“real estate†needed to house hardware, the power
and cooling requirements are reduced which can
significantly lower IT costs.
Reduction in time spent performing repetitive
task such as configuration, monitoring and
maintenance. Applications roll outs, patches and
general provisioning are performed in significantly
less time, freeing up IT managers and administrative
valuable time.
No interruption of service allows planned
downtime to be eliminated.
The recovery from unplanned outages are faster
with the ability to securely backup and migrate
entire virtual environments with no interruption in
service.
End Users benefit from managers being able to
deploy, manage and monitor secure desktop
environments that end users can access locally or
remotely, with or without a network.
What is Virtualization Technology?
Build pre-configured virtual machine servers once,
deploy them anywhere, any time
Protect against non-hardware errors and single
points of failure for greater availability
Consolidate applications and infrastructure services
onto fewer highly scalable, highly reliable
enterprise-class servers
Reduce downtime by 25-55% and hardware cost by up to
30%
Remotely manage servers via Web console or high
performance client console
GSX Server fully supports both Windows and Linux
hosts and Windows, Linux, Novell guests
Reduce hardware and software costs by up to 40% by
consolidating 20 or more servers onto one physical
machine
Reduce operations costs by up to 70% and save money
on staffing, heating, and facilities
Guarantee resources/quality of service for mission
critical applications with advanced resource
management controls
Improve the flexibility and utilization of blade
servers from HP and IBM and many popular towers and
racks
Dynamically move workloads across distributed
physical servers
Streamline server provisioning and management
Monitor system availability and performance
Manage distributed servers as a single pool of
resources
