Moving your Enterprise Java applications to virtualized x86 platformsgives you better utilization of resources with easier lifecycle and scalability management. Adding new instances of application servers or updating to a newer version of an application is simply faster when the Java process is in a virtual rather than a physical machine. Moving to a VMware virtualized platform provides immediate benefits:
- Better availability and dynamic scalability
- Simpler application lifecycle management
- Greater efficiency and flexibility without switching application servers
You can run all of the major application servers for Java in virtual machines on vSphere today. An example of this from Ohio Mutual Insurance
Many enterprises put their application servers through several rounds of performance testing before recommending that all future deployments of that application server be placed on vSphere.
