Virtualization Overview
Virtualization is a proven software
technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and
fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Today's powerful
x86 computer hardware was originally designed to run only a single
operating system and single application, but virtualization breaks
that bond, making it possible to fun multiple OS's and multiple
application on the same computer at the same time, increasing the
utilizations and flexibility of the hardware.
Server
Consolidation
Reduce IT Costs while Improving
Flexibility & Responsiveness: Don't let server sprawl and platform
dependencies prevent your organization from achieving it's goals.
Take control of your IT infrastructure and help it reach it's full
potential by using virtual infrastructure solutions from VMware to:
- Reduce hardware
and operating costs by as much as 50%
- Reduce the time
it takes to provision new servers by up to 70%
- Save much more
than $3,000.00 per year for every server workload virtualized
Consolidate Excess Hardware &
Increase Server Utilization:
VMware is the recognizes expert in virtualization technology
solutions and offers the most robust software
suit in the industry for server consolidation-
VMWare
infrastructure 3. By consolidation your
server hardware with VMware Infrastructure 3 your organization can
1) increase utilization of existing hardware from 10-15% up to 80%
2) Reduce hardware requirements by a 10:1 ratio of better.
Manage Your
Virtual Infrastructure from a Single Point of Control:
While
most vendors offer only a single- point solutions for server
virtualization VMware gives you the power to manage an entire
virtual infrastructure. Using the production- proven
VM
VirtualCenter your organization can: 1)
Accelerate provisioning time by 50-70%, 2) Manage virtual machines
from a central location, 3) Monitor the performance of virtual
machines and their hosts.
Automate
your Virtual Infrastructure to Ensure Peak Performance:
With
VMware, your IT Organization can deliver levels of performance,
scalability, and availability that are not possible with a physical
infrastructure. Using VMware
VirtualCenter in combination with
VMware VMotion
and VMware DRS
products, your organization will be able to: 1) Avoid planned
downtime with live migration of virtual machines, 2) Enable dynamic
policy-based allocation of IT resources with automated load
balancing, 3) Eliminate many repetitive configuration and
maintenance tasks.

Business
Continuity
Keep your
Business Running Non-Stop: Can your business afford any disruption
of IT services? Thousands of data centers experience
significant services interruptions every year, at the cost of lost
business revenue and lost data, or worse. While disasters and
unplanned downtime get the big headlines, planned downtime for
hardware maintenance and backups is the cause of the majority of
service downtime. Read some white papers on business continuity.
Achieve better
data protection, high availability, and Disaster Recovery:
Business continuity has become a vital ingredient of IT strategies
in a world where businesses need to operate 24 hours a day.
Disruptions to these operations can be fatal to a company.
Virtualiza your data center and make it easier to build solutions
for:
-
Data proetection: Basic Data protection is one of the
most critical elements of data center management. Problems like
storage faulire server failure, and plain old user error casur
data loss uncomfortably often. Data Centers must plan for
Disaster Recovery, with VMware virtual infrastructre lets you
use your existing backup tools and methodologies in a cirtual
environment while benefiting from:
-Easily and Quickly Recovering Data
-Simplify Comprehensive Protection
-Enable Reliable, Non-disruptive Backup
-Improve your Business Continuity with Better data
Proctection and
Consolidated Backups
-
High Availability:
VMware makes in simple and less expensice to provide higher
levels of avalability for improtant applications. With VMware
virtual infrastructure, organizations can easily increase the
base live levels of availability provided for all appications as
well as privied higher levels of availabilty more easily and
cost effective. With VMware virtual infrastructure, customers
have been able to:
-Slash Planned Downtime
-Prevent Unplanned Downtime
-Ensure Rapid Recovery from Outages
- Disaster
Recovery: Traditional disaster recovery plans require many,
manual, complex steps to allocate recovery resources, preform
bare metal recover, perform data recovery and validate that
systems are ready for use. VMware Infrastructure eliminates
steps and simplifies the recovery process. With VMware
Infrastructure you can ensure a reliable recovery, reduce the
cost of Disaster Recover, and automate disaster recovery. Meet
your time-to-recover goals with a simplifies hardware-independant
recovery process.

Remote and Branch Offices
Control & Manage Remoste Servers & Desktops from a Central
Location: Remote sites present uniquie challenges for
IT organizations. Management complexity, inadeequate infrastructure
and a lack of administrative resources can make it difficult for
ompanies to deliver consistent and scalable IT services to thier
remoste offices in a timely manner. Virtualaization is a great
way to address these issues, VMware offers solutions that will: 1)
Simplify IT managements and accelearte provisioning of remote
systems, 2) Ensure always-on availability and recover quickly from
disaster, 3) Reduce IT hardware and operating costs for servers and
desktops.
Virtualizing Remote Servers: VMware
Infrastructure lest you extent then benefits of virtualization to
remote and branch offices, with the flexibility to remotely manage
vitural machines at each sire, host remotely accessible virtual
machines in a central data center or to use a mix of both
distributed and centralized virtual machines - all from a single
point of control.
Virtualizing Remote Desktops: For remote
desktop PC's and thing clients, VMware offers an end-to-end users
with remoste access to complete, unmodifies virtual desktop
environments that are hosted in a central location
