Achieve more with virtualization

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 “rule”, 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

• Save time and money—migrations take hours, not weeks with P2V Assistant
• Get simplicity, speed, and safety when migrating your physical machines to virtual machines
• Non-intrusively copy and transform physical systems into VMware virtual machines
• Perform migrations across heterogeneous hardware
• Proactively readjust disk sizes, types and
• partitions to maximize utilization of
• storage resources
• Utilize built-in or third party imaging technologies to initiate the P2V process from a backup or clone of a physical system
