Virtualization
VMware® Infrastructure
is the most widely deployed software suite for optimizing and
managing industry standard IT environments through virtualization –
from the desktop
to the data center. The only production-ready virtualization
software suite, VMware Infrastructure is proven to deliver results
at more than 20,000 customers of all sizes, used in a wide variety
of environments and applications. The suite is fully optimized,
rigorously tested and certified for the widest range of hardware,
operating systems and software applications. VMware Infrastructure
provides built-in management, resource optimization, application
availability and operational automation capabilities that deliver
transformative cost savings as well as increased operational
efficiency, flexibility and IT service levels.
VMware Infrastructure delivers a responsive IT—dynamic, efficient
and available.
Eliminating many of the constraints of traditional hardware, VMware
Infrastructure allows companies to:
Implement Production Server Consolidation
and Containment.
Contain server sprawl by running software applications in virtual
machines on fewer, highly scalable, reliable enterprise-class
servers. Customers of VMware Infrastructure have been able to
consolidate 10 or more virtual machines per physical processor,
thereby drastically increasing server utilization and containing
server sprawl.
Provide Advanced Business Continuity
Protection at Lower Cost
Deliver high availability for critical applications with
cost-effective virtualization-based solutions. With VMware
Infrastructure, customers can implement a unified disaster recovery
platform that allows many production virtual machines to be
recovered in the event of hardware failure without investing in
costly one-to-one mapping of production and DR hardware.
Streamline Software Test & Development. Consolidate disparate
development, testing and staging environments involving multiple
operating systems and multi-tier applications. Set up self- service
developer portals to increase developer productivity.
Secure and Manage Enterprise Desktops. Secure enterprise desktops of
geographically dispersed workforce by providing a standard corporate
desktop image in a virtual machine. At the same time, provide
standardized enterprise desktop environments hosted in virtual
machines accessed through thin clients or PCs.
Simplify Infrastructure Provisioning
Reduce the time for provisioning new infrastructure to minutes with
sophisticated automation capabilities. Virtual appliances combine
simple deployment of software with the benefits of pre- configured
devices. Centralize control and responsibility for hardware
resources while giving business units and application owners
complete control over how resources are utilized.
Re-host Legacy Applications.
Migrate legacy operating systems and software applications to
virtual machines running on new hardware for better reliability.
Benefits
-
Measurable savings in both capital & operating costs
-
Increases hardware utilization and reducing hardware
requirements with server consolidation ratios commonly
exceeding ten virtual machines per physical processor
-
Reduces the cost of rack space and power proportionate to
the consolidation ration achieved Decreases labor cost
-
Improve responsiveness, serviceability, availability and
flexibility of IT infrastructure
-
Enables broad-based, cost-effective application availability
and business continuity independent of hardware and
operating systems
-
Enables continuous uptime and non- disruptive maintenance of
IT environments with live migration of entire running
systems
-
Eliminates the need for cumbersome software installation and
configuration with virtual appliances
-
Accelerates the application development and deployment
lifecycles
-
Improves responsiveness to business needs with instant
provisioning and dynamic optimization of application
environments
