Upgrade Your Server Infrastructure with Production-Ready Virtualization
You’ve experienced the benefits of virtualization with VMware Server. You know that it can reduce costs and take the complexity out of IT. Now you can easily and affordably step-up to true enterprise-class virtualization and realize even greater benefits for your business. With VMware’s proven, production-ready VMware Infrastructure (VI) platform, businesses can reliably virtualize even the most mission critical applications. And VI provides the scalability and flexibility for customers to buy what they need today and evolve their virtualization solutions as their business needs grow.
VMware offers several options for cost-effectively deploying virtualization in small and midsize businesses or work group IT environments:
- VMware ESXi - Partition a single server into multiple virtual machines with VMware’s easy-to-implement, 32 MB, production-proven bare-metal hypervisor.
- VMware Infrastructure 3 Acceleration Kits - Affordable solutions for work groups or small and mid-size businesses to take advantage of enterprise-level virtualization features including manageability, IT agility, and business continuity.
Implement Simple, Cost-Effective Availability
Downtime brings with it considerable costs. Traditionally, solutions to ensure higher levels of availability have been expensive, hard to implement, and difficult to manage. With VMware Infrastructure it’s possible to simply and affordably slash planned downtime, prevent unplanned downtime, and recover rapidly from outages.
- VMware Infrastructure Standard High Availability (HA) Acceleration Kit- Ideal for environments where high availability of infrastructure and data is critical, this solution gives organizations the ability to ensure application up-time. Included is VirtualCenter Foundation, which provides all the benefits of VirtualCenter Server, but is designed to serve the needs of smaller IT environments with management for 3 or fewer physical servers.
Consolidate, Manage and Automate Your IT Infrastructure
The VMware Infrastructure 3 suite is the most widely deployed software for optimizing and managing IT environments through virtualization. It includes the award-winning VMware ESX plus new distributed services including VMware HA, VMware DRS and VMware vMotion. Unique to VMware, vMotion leverages the complete virtualization of servers, storage and networking to move an entire running virtual machine instantaneously from one server to another.
- VMware Infrastructure Midsized Acceleration Kit - A cost-effective offer designed for midsized companies that require advanced manageability and business continuity features, such as vMotion. The kit also includes VirtualCenter Foundation, which provides all the benefits of VirtualCenter Server, but is designed to serve the needs of smaller IT environments with management for 3 or fewer physical servers.
Leverage the Power of Your Server with Reliable High-Performance Server Virtualization
Deliver unmatched levels of reliability and security with VMware ESXi, the industry’s thinnest hypervisor. VMware ESXi is built on the same technology as VMware ESX, so it’s powerful enough to run even the most resource intensive applications. As the only hypervisor that does not incorporate or rely on a general-purpose operating system (OS), VMware ESXi eliminates many common reliability issues and security vulnerabilities associated with the OS.
- VMware ESXi - An easy way to get started with production-ready virtualization. Step through the menu-driven startup and automatic configuration and you’ll have virtual machines set up and running within minutes of booting your server. You can also deploy servers that have VMware ESXi pre-installed to experience true “plug and play” virtualization.
