Minimize Your Total Cost of Infrastructure Ownership
- Increase hardware utilization and reduce hardware requirements
with server consolidation ratios commonly exceeding ten
virtual machines per physical processor.
- Reduce required datacenter square footage, rack space,
power, cooling, cabling, storage and network components
by reducing the sheer number of physical machines.
Streamline IT Infrastructure Management
- Streamline the execution of IT management processes
such as provisioning, capacity management, availability
management, continuity management and service level management.
- Eliminate cumbersome software installations and configurations
with virtual appliances.
- Decrease IT labor costs and refocus IT teams on value
added, strategic tasks.
Provide Mainframe Class Availability and Reliability
- Improve application availability and business continuity
independent of hardware and operating systems.
- Eliminate planned downtime for server and storage maintenance
with live migration of virtual machines across physical
servers and storage arrays .
- Improve Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective
in case of an entire site outage
VMware
Infrastructure delivers responsive ITdynamic, 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, 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 standardized
platform that allows many production virtual machines to
be recovered in the event of hardware failure, without investing
in costly redundant hardware.
- Streamline software test and development. Consolidate
disparate development, testing and staging environments
involving multiple operating systems and multi-tiered applications.
- 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.
What are the Benefits of VMware Infrastructure?
VMware Infrastructure uses virtualization technology to
deliver transformative capital and operating cost savings as
well as increased operational efficiency, flexibility and IT
service levels.
VMware Infrastructure delivers measurable savings in both
capital and operating costs:
- Increases hardware utilization and reduces 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 ratio achieved.
- Decreases labor cost by simplifying and automating
labor and resource intensive IT operations across
disparate hardware, operating system and software
application environments.
VMware Infrastructure improves 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 application development and deployment
lifecycles.
- Improves responsiveness to business needs with
instant provisioning and dynamic optimization of
application environments.
- Allows legacy systems to co-exist with new
environments.
How Does VMware Infrastructure Work?
VMware Infrastructure virtualizes and aggregates industry
standard servers and their attached network and storage into
unified resource pools. Complete environments, including
operating systems and applications, are encapsulated in
virtual machines that are independent from the hardware. A
set of virtualization-based distributed infrastructure
services for virtual machines bring breakthrough levels of
flexibility, serviceability and efficiency to IT
environments:
- Central management and monitoring of virtual
machines automate and simplify provisioning.
- Distributed resource optimization dynamically and
intelligently allocates the available resources among
virtual machines, resulting in significantly higher
hardware utilization and better alignment of IT
resources with business priorities.
- Easy-to-use high-availability provides better
service levels to applications at lower cost than
static, physical infrastructure.
- Live migration capabilities allow maintenance of
underlying server and storage hardware without
disruption to application users.
- Centralized patch management for physical host
servers and guest operating systems keeps the
infrastructure secure and compliant.
VMware Infrastructure is not tied to any operating
system, giving customers a bias-free choice of operating
system and software applications. VMware Infrastructure
scales to support IT environments of any size.

VMware VirtualCenter provides a
central point of control for managing, monitoring,
provisioning and migrating virtual machines
Whats Included in VMware Infrastructure?
VMware ESX:
VMware ESX is the foundation for the dynamic,
self-optimizing IT infrastructure. VMware ESX is a
robust, production proven virtualization layer that
abstracts processor, memory, storage and networking
resources into multiple virtual machines. VMware ESX
increases hardware utilization and dramatically
decreases capital and operating cost by sharing hardware
resources across a large number of virtual machines.
With advanced resource management, high availability and
security features; VMware ESX improves service levels
even to the most resource-intensive applications. VMware
ESX is now also available as VMware ESXi, offering all
the same functionality but with a thin 32 MB footprint
that provides unparalleled security and reliability.
Additionally, integration as server firmware makes
deployment fast and easy. VMware ESX virtualizes server
storage and networking, allowing multiple applications
to run in virtual machines on the same physical server.
VMware VMFS:
VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) is a
high-performance cluster file system that allows
multiple installations of VMware ESX to access the same
virtual machine storage concurrently. VMFS enables the
virtualization-based distributed infrastructure services
delivered by VMware VirtualCenter, VMware VMotion
technology, VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
and VMware High Availability (HA).
VMware Virtual SMP technology:
VMware Virtual Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP)
technology enhances virtual machine performance by
enabling a single virtual machine to use multiple
physical processors simultaneously. Virtual SMP allows
for virtualization of the most processor and resource
intensive enterprise applications and databases.
VMware VirtualCenter:
VMware VirtualCenter delivers centralized management,
operational automation, resource optimization and high
availability to IT environments. These capabilities
equip IT environments with unprecedented levels of
serviceability, efficiency and reliability. VMware
VirtualCenter exposes a rich set of programmatic Web
service interfaces that enable integration with
third-party system management products, as well as
customized development. VMware VirtualCenter provides a
central point of control for managing, monitoring,
provisioning and migrating virtual machines.
VMware DRS:
VMware DRS aligns available resources with
pre-defined business priorities while streamlining labor
and resource intensive operations. VMware DRS now also
includes Distributed Power Management (DPM), which
balances workloads to reduce power consumption in the
datacenter.
VMware VMotion:
VMware VMotion technology allows the live migration
of virtual machines from one physical server to another
for non-disruptive maintenance of IT environments.
VMware Storage VMotion:
VMware Storage VMotion allows the live migration of
virtual machine disks from one shared storage location
to another with no disruption or downtime to application
users.
VMware HA:
VMware HA enables cost-effective application
availability, independent of hardware and operating
systems.
VMware® Update Manager:
VMware Update Manager manages patches/updates for
physical VMware ESX as well as guest operating systems,
enforcing compliance and securing IT infrastructure.
VMware® Consolidated Backup:
VMware Consolidated Backup provides an easy-to-use,
centralized backup facility for virtual machines. It
enables virtual machine contents to be backed up from a
centralized Microsoft® Windows® 2003 proxy server,
rather than directly from VMware ESX.
