The VMware and EMC partnership has thousands of proven successful customer implementations. EMC itself has integrated VMware technology into its own IT infrastructure, running such critical applications as EMC.com and Powerlink (EMC’s Partner Portal) on VMware ESX Servers.
Whitepapers & Solution Briefs
- EMC Storage for VMware Environments Solution Overview
Optimizing VMware environments with Shared Storage from EMC. This Solution Overview provides a brief description of the benefits EMC’s shared storage offerings bring to a VMware environment. - EMC Virtual Desktop Solutions for VMware Environments Solutions Overview
This Solution Overview highlights the benefits EMC’s Celerra storage platform brings to a VMware virtual desktop environment. Including unique flexibility and scalability features that make building and managing a VMware virtual desktop environment much faster and simpler. - EMC & VMware SQLServer and Celerra Solutions Brief
VMware, in conjunction with EMC, have tested and validated a virtualization solution for SQL Server – using VMware Infrastructure 3 software and EMC® Celerra® NS Series/Integrated IP Storage servers – and the benefits of both are applied to the deployment of SQL Server, making virtualization an attractive choice for the database environment. - EMC & VMware - Backing up VMware Environments Whitepaper
This jointly developed, EMC and VMware, whitepaper shows how Avamar, an EMC backup solution, is used as a data-protection solution for virtual infrastructures that using unique deduplication technology to back up virtual machines efficiently without overly taxing the infrastructure. This paper discusses details of the Avamar solution and various ways of providing data protection in VMware environments. - EMC & VMware on End to End Quality of Service Whitepaper
This whitepaper, developed jointly between EMC and VMware, describes tests in which Navisphere QoS Manager and VMware’s Distributed Resource Scheduler ran in a VMware ESX virtual environment using EMC CLARiiON storage systems. These tests clearly demonstrate that, with QoS Manager and Distributed Resource Scheduler, multiple applicationgs running ina VMWAre ESX virtual machine can maintain exceptional mission-critical performance while sharing a CLARiiON storage system. - VMware Virtual Solutions for Exchange 2007 – VMware Infrastructure 3, EMC CLARiiON CX3-20 Seriers iSCSI, and Dell PowerEdge Servers Whitepaper
This whitepaper describes the architecture of a solution built by VMware, EMC and Dell and tested at the EMC Commercial Solutions Validation labs located in Research Triangle Park N.C. It reviews the benefits that can be achieved by virtualizing Microsoft Exchange 2007 with VMware Infrastructure. In addition, look into the detail at the architecture of each layer of the solution and how all the pieces fit together to create a platform for running Exchange 2007 on VMware Infrastructure 3. Combining the benefits o VMware virtualization, the affordable and reliable Clariion CX3-20 iSCSI storage subsystem, and 64-bit Dell PowerEdge servers provides a very robust platform for deploying Exchange 2007. This platform can provide significant benefits over a non-virtualized platform for Exchange 2007 and these benefits are highlighted in the appropriate sections of this document.
