VMware Technology Enables Enterprise-Class Performance While Saving Space, Reducing Costs and Increasing Productivity
“As a CTO, I have to validate every IT dollar spent and demonstrate that our IT purchases are adding value to the business. That’s the great thing about VMware technology: the cost savings and business-level benefits are so straightforward, that it’s really a no-brainer.”
Baptist Healthcare System
Baptist Healthcare System’s VMware Virtual Infrastructure Maximizes Uptime, Flexibility and Responsiveness
“Ever since we first looked at VMware technology, each time a new product has come out, we've found a role for the software.”
Community College of Baltimore County
Community College of Baltimore County Budget Goes Further With VMware Virtual Infrastructure
"Certainly we are purchasing less hardware, but more importantly, we are cutting expenses on maintenance, energy and real estate. We are getting more out of the money we spend, so our infrastructure will last longer and perform better. These are the cost savings that, over time, help make an organization truly efficient."
EDS
EDS Turns to VMware Server Virtualization to Support Australian Customers
“The increasing maturity of virtualization and the growing support from independent software vendors is helping fuel deployment of VMware virtualization across production environments. This means more businesses are redeploying or disposing of inefficient hardware and consolidating their data center infrastructure onto multiple virtual server environments, thus contributing to a reduction in power consumption.”
EFI
EFI Used VMware Infrastructure 3 To Minimize the Complexity and Reduce the Cost of Developing, Testing, and Deploying This Multi-tiered Environment
“In any large multi-tier application deployment, you have to use resources such as consultants whose costs can add up if they have to wait for test and development systems to be set up. With VMware Infrastructure, we can add another compute block to the cluster or whip up new virtual machines quickly. As a result our developers have the resources they need, when they need them, and we’ve really mitigated ‘budget creep.’ That flexibility has to do with the functionality and responsiveness of VMware products, which enables us to serve our customer better and ultimately to save my company money.”
First American Corporation
VMware Technology Optimizes Availability And Simplifies Management Of IT Infrastructure—Desktop To Data Center
“Using VMware technology to consolidate our servers and shrink our data center footprint has helped us significantly reduce our energy consumption. This practice is the primary driver behind a six-figure rebate check we will be receiving from Southern California Edison this year.”
Hull College
Hull College Reduces CO2 Emissions By Over 1,500 Tonnes Per Year With VMware Technology
"The expansion of our data centre was affecting our ability to deliver services promptly and efficiently and we were also becoming concerned about our power and cooling overheads. Virtualisation has helped us drastically reduce our power and cooling requirements while making our overall infrastructure far more efficient.”
Interior Health Authority (IHA)
Interior Health Migrates Physical Servers Scheduled For Replacement to Virtual Ones, Saving Money, Offering High Availability and Creating a Greener Data Center
“Interior Health embarked on virtualizing applications as a reliability and space-saving strategy, but we subsequently discovered another huge advantage: energy savings. Virtualization is an excellent way to reduce energy consumption quickly, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost.”
Los Angeles Universal Preschool
VMware Technology Enables Rapid Deployment of a Test and Development Environment Without the Higher Costs Associated with Physical Machines
“For us, VMware Infrastructure 3 has been a lifesaver—it allows us to test and develop new applications quickly and affordably. I can’t think of a single organization—big or small—where VMware technology wouldn’t be able to improve IT efficiencies across the board.”
Sheffield Hallam University
VMware Infrastructure 3 Delivers Substantial Reductions in Power and Cooling Requirements; Over Half the University’s Servers Are Now Virtual Machines
"With the server farm growing towards capacity, we knew a completely new strategy was required and that moving to virtual infrastructure would be the most effective solution. During the testing process the VMware technology proved itself time and time again and is revolutionizing the way we deliver services ."
Subaru of Indiana
Subaru Implemented VMware Infrastructure 3 to Increase Flexibility and System Reliability, As Well as Reduce Downtime, System Administration Workload, Power Consumption and the Overall Number of Physical Servers by More Than Two-Thirds
“In the case of a server failure, we always have a complete VMware virtual machine image that we can run while we’re fixing the hardware. We don’t have to wait four hours for a new disk drive to arrive.”
Uptime
VMware Software Increases IT Muscle and Simplifies Systems Management to Keep the Data Center As Lean As Possible
“As our company grows, the best way to keep costs down and our customers happy is to virtualize. And VMware is a de facto standard for virtualization. It works with our heterogeneous hardware and software, and it gives us fantastic conversion abilities from physical to virtual machines. The overall reduction in TCO from deploying VMware lets us do way more with much less. That’s why VMware is—and will continue to be—a mainstay in our data center.”
WWF United Kingdom
VMware Infrastructure 3 for 5:1 Server Consolidation and High Availability of Critical Servers
“Virtualisation has allowed WWF to simply manage our IT infrastructure and create an effective disaster recovery practice. After experiencing these benefits in our UK office, my IT team has been urging all of our other offices to ‘go virtual.’ Our aim is for the entire global operation of WWF to run on VMware and dramatically reduce our carbon footprint through virtualisation.”
Wyse Technology
By Moving to VMware Virtual Infrastructure, Wyse Technology Was Able to Improve Productivity and Performance Without Incurring the Cost of Expensive new Hardware
“VMware Infrastructure 3 reduced the frequency of outages for core infrastructure services by 100 percent, saving 416 man hours per year in unplanned maintenance. VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMware High Availability (HA) are fully automated and performing flawlessly. VMware HA is really a simpler and cost-effective alternative to complex, traditional clustering technologies.”
