VMware Virtual Infrastructure Helped Princeton Softech Constrain Its Testing Hardware Costs, While VMware Lab Manager Alleviated the Labor Crunch for Provisioning Testing and Development Environments
“Before acquiring VMware Lab Manager, we didn’t have the versatile, on-demand environment we needed. Virtualization helped, but even then, requiring IT support to provision specific environments created bottlenecks. Lab Manager allows us to support as many ERP and CRM environments as possible to satisfy the needs of our engineering talent and to achieve our business objectives.”

VMware Infrastructure Enables Physical Hardware Consolidation To Cut Power, Cooling And Real Estate Costs While Enhancing Manageability And Responsiveness To Business Unit Requirements
"We found that our infrastructure was coming under strain and if we did not virtualize, we would have had to upgrade power, airconditioning and rack space, and increase real estate at our primary datacenter. We issued a request for proposal and received a plan from RDA Group that leveraged the functionality and performance of VMware virtualization to deliver a scalable, fault-tolerant, dynamic infrastructure."

Mission-critical Reliability in the Data Center and QC lab with Stratus® ftServer® Systems
“When you start virtualizing Windows servers, as we do in our data center, the need for Stratus’ fault tolerance really becomes obvious. The other important area is where manufacturing data is collected and maintained. We have to secure the batch history and data to avoid having to reject a batch that may be valued at more than a million dollars.”
Radiator Express Warehouse
With VMware Infrastructure 3, Radiator Express Warehouse Not Only Enabled a New and Improved DR Strategy, But Also Dramatically Cut Power and Hardware Costs and Received a $6,000 PG&E Rebate Check
“By virtualizing my servers using VMware Infrastructure 3 Enterprise, I’ve got total redundancy, I don’t have to allocate a separate machine for every application, and I’m no longer facing $100,000 in new infrastructure costs just to keep up with business demands. We now have the infrastructure to provide the best business applications and services in the entire automotive aftermarket parts industry.”
Radio Television of Serbia
Radio Television Of Serbia Builds Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Using VMware Infrastructure To Deliver Press Center Desktops During Eurovision Song Contest ‘08
“VMware has proven itself as an ideal solution for the Eurovision Song Contest press center. We can manage the complete desktop infrastructure centrally, including the maintenance of desktop images and the provision of new virtual machines when increased capacity is required. The VMware solution gave us the freedom and flexibility to try different approaches safe in the knowledge that we could easily undo changes or switch back to previous desktop templates. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is an ideal solution for delivering standardised desktop images in environments like our press center.”

VMware Guides Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind away from Potential Disaster
"When a server goes down, that comes at a cost of $20,000 per hour. It’s a lot of money for a charity like the RNZFB to save from basically going down the drain. The software licenses pay for themselves everyday we have uninterrupted service across the network.”

VMware VirtualCenter Software: Improved Administrative, Provisioning And Monitoring Capabilities
“There is no doubt that VMware is the way to go. In a medium-sized organisation such as SAQA you simply can’t go wrong with a virtualised environment. Believe me, I have been down the more traditional hardware deployment road, and VMware is miles ahead.”
Sara Assicurazioni
Sara Ha Avviato Un Processo Di Revisione E Modernizzazione Del Proprio Data Center, Al Tempo Costituito Da Macchine Esclusivamente Fisiche, Molto Eterogenee Tra Loro. Nel Giro Di Pochi Mesi, Una Buona Parte Del Data Center È Stato Convertito In Virtuale: Attualmente Sono Quasi 200 I Server Virtuali Ospitati Su Una Dozzina Di Host Fisici, A Coprire La Gran Parte Dei Servizi E Delle Applicazioni IT Dell’azienda. L’intera Infrastruttura Virtuale Viene Ora Monitorata In Remoto, Con La Possibilità Di Adattare In Tempo Reale Le Risorse Disponibili Sulla Base Delle Necessità Di Business, E Di Effettuare Ogni Tipo Di Test E Manutenzione Senza Più La Necessità Di Fermare Le Macchine.
"Il passaggio al virtuale è stato rapido e indolore. Sia la conversione di server già esistenti che la creazione ex-novo di macchine virtuali si è rivelata semplice. Dal punto di vista della gestione, i vantaggi sono stati evidenti e immediati, come pure non è stato assolutamente trascurabile il positivo impatto economico legato alla forte riduzione del numero di macchine fisiche.”

VMware Lab Manager Has Helped STC Compress Test Cycles, Drastically Shrink Testing Hardware Requirements, and Efficiently Support a Rapidly Growing Development Organization Without Increasing Support Headcount
“VMware Lab Manager has allowed our test and development team to simulate multiple client environments with a very small server footprint. We can also very quickly deploy new setups in a few minutes that normally could take hours to a full work day.”
Sevenoaks District Council
VMware Infrastructure 3 Used to Replace Physical Servers with Virtual Machines as Part of Overall Asset Management Strategy
"As a public organization, we are driven to achieve the best return on our investment in IT. Using VMware, we have achieved significant efficiency savings relating to deployment and management of server infrastructure. We have also reduced our data center’s space requirements by about 50 percent, and we will achieve further gains from virtualization in the future as part of our overall asset management strategy. So far we have managed to achieve about £80,000 through identified efficiency savings. At the end of the project, we expect to achieve consolidation ratios of about 20 virtual machines per physical host.”

SpamTitan
The SpamTitan for VMware Virtual Appliance Revolutionized the Company’s Go-to-Market and Channel Strategy by Lowering Costs, Speeding Up Sales Cycles, and Facilitating Revenue Growth
“Virtual appliances let our product sell itself, at minimal cost and in a way never before possible in the physical realm. Virtual technology from VMware has helped us gain market share in geographies—such as China, Japan, and New Zealand—that we wouldn’t have even considered entering for years to come. Prior to the SpamTitan for VMware virtual appliance, 80 percent of SpamTitan’s customers were based in the UK, with the remaining 20 percent from the rest of Europe. Since launching virtual appliances, our customer base has shifted dramatically geographically, with approximately 40 percent of customers now in North America, 10 percent in the UK, and the remainder spread across the globe. We have also seen our product turnover double, with virtual appliances now accounting for 50 percent of revenues. What’s more, the rate of growth of our virtual appliance customers is twice that of our hardware appliance customers.”

“VMware has enabled us to rationalize our infrastructure at the server and desktop level while giving us increased flexibility and better performance. We have moved to the next level of efficiency and service delivery thanks to their efforts.”
Stephenson Harwood
VMware Infrastructure Decreases Power and Heat Production Within Data Center, Reduces Number of Servers Deployed
“The rate of server sprawl within our data center was unacceptable from a power consumption viewpoint and the sheer amount of space that the machines would take up. By using VMware, we are able to decrease the amount of energy that we are using while increasing the flexibility of how we provide services to the organization. Virtualization is a key part of our corporate social responsibility program and reducing our overall carbon footprint.”
