Master your data center.

If you’re not virtualizing you’re not unlocking the true value and potential of your machines.  Virtualization makes IT organizations more flexible and more able to swiftly  respond to changing business requirements.  The old “one physical server, one function” is a dead philosophy.  Virtualization lets one computer do the job of many computers, by sharing the resources of a single machine. Each virtual server believes it has full control of the underlying hardware, but instead many machines are running on the same powerful server.  With today’s massive servers, filled with 100s of GBs of RAM and chips with 6,8,12 and more cores, it’s easy to carve up your servers into smaller units.  Not only is it easy, it’s the absolute best way to take full advantage of your hardware.  Most servers sit idle most of their life.  Virtualization allows you to maximize and fully utilize your powerful hardware.  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 management,  and improved disaster recovery when you build a virtual infrastructure.

Improve 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 to:

• Reduce the time it takes to provision new servers by up to 70%
• Save thousands per year for every server workload virtualized
• Reduce errors and server downtime with live snapshots and advanced roll back features

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 – vSphere. By consolidating your server hardware with VMware’s powerful line of products, your organization can:

• Increase utilization of existing hardware from 10-15% up to 80%
