Optimize and manage from the desktop to the datacenter.

Virtualization essentially lets one computer do the job of multiple computers, by sharing the resources of a single computer across multiple environments. Virtual servers and virtual desktops let you host multiple operating systems and multiple applications locally and in remote locations, freeing you from physical and geographical limitations. In addition to energy savings and lower capital expenses due to more efficient use of your hardware resources, you get high availability of resources, better desktop management, increased security, and improved disaster recovery processes when you build a virtual infrastructure.

Reduce IT Costs While Improving Flexibility & Responsiveness

Don’t let server sprawl and platform dependencies prevent your organization from achieving its goals. Take control of your IT infrastructure and help it reach its 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 more than $3,000 per year for every server workload virtualized

Consolidate Excess Hardware & Increase Server Utilization

VMware is the recognized expert in virtualization technology solutions and offers the most robust software suite in the industry for server consolidation – VMware Infrastructure 3. By consolidating your server hardware with VMware Infrastructure 3, your organization can:

• Increase utilization of existing hardware from 10-15% up to 80%
• Reduce hardware requirements by a 10:1 ratio or better

Our Professional Services team can help you assess your IT environment to identify consolidation candidates and to calculate the potential savings from using virtualization.

Manage Your Virtual Infrastructure from a Single Point of Control

• Accelerate provisioning time by 50-70%
• Manage virtual machines from a central location
• Monitor the performance of virtual machines and their hosts

These and other benefits have enabled more than 85% of our customers to use VMware virtual machines in production environments for a wide range of applications.
