Overview
VMware and Intel work together to deliver reliability, value, and ease of deployment in the dynamic data center of today and in the future, giving customers the confidence to start benefiting from virtualization now.
VMware and Intel bring the combined expertise to ensure infrastructure resources are designed, manufactured and optimized to handle current and continually evolving data center requirements. We are collaborating to introduce innovative architectural hardware and software enhancements that provide customers with improved security, reliability, and manageability.
VMware Infrastructure 3 running on Intel-based platforms creates high performance virtualized environments that meet today’s needs and are designed from the start to accommodate the most demanding corporate data center requirements.
Performance and Reliability
Our close engineering collaboration delivers a scalable, flexible infrastructure that can grow and change with your needs. VMware Infrastructure 3 combined with Intel’s multi-core processor technology brings significant computing power and performance to virtualized environments without increasing footprint or power demands.
Customers benefit from the performance advantages of running VMware virtualization solutions on Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor-based servers. The availability of additional cores enables new usage models such as dedicated processing resources for intrusion detection, security, system monitoring and management.
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor-based systems combined with VMware Infrastructure 3 provide mainframe-like uptime through Intel’s advanced server reliability features and VMware’s High Availability feature, making this joint solution the foundation of a dependable IT infrastructure.
For over 35 years, Intel Corporation has developed technology enabling the computer and Internet revolution that has changed the world. More recently VMware added a critical innovation by enabling mainframe-style virtualization on the powerful, flexible, cost-effective Intel® server platform. This combination of high-end virtualization capabilities and industry-standard servers is driving fundamental breakthroughs in datacenter operations, and helping businesses address some of their most critical computing challenges.
