Enabling Always On IT for SMBs
Small businesses face many of the same IT challenges as larger businesses, trying to accommodate increasing demand for new IT capabilities and services. Small businesses often place even greater emphasis on cost savings and on protecting business critical systems and data, since shrinking IT staff and budgets and a “do more with less” mantra make it extremely difficult to simultaneously maintain day-to-day business operations (keeping the lights on) and invest in new strategic projects that can yield longer-term efficiencies to help the business grow.
VMware vSphere for small business is the most cost effective way to enable Always On IT – the high availability, reliability, and manageability of enterprise-class operations optimized for small and midsized businesses.

VMware Always On IT Solutions for SMBs
As the global leader in virtualization, VMware provides a complete range of robust, reliable and cost-effective solutions, from free virtualization tools to start experiencing the benefits of virtualization today, to comprehensive platforms that can be deployed as building blocks in a flexible and configurable way to scale as the business grows.
Free Tools for Getting Started with Virtualization
- VMware ESX™i is the next-generation, no-cost OS-independent hypervisor that makes virtualization easy to deploy. It enables companies to partition a physical server into multiple virtual machines to quickly start experiencing the benefits of virtualization. Requiring minimal configuration, users can be up and running in minutes with a production-ready hypervisor that scales to run the most resource intensive applications.
- VMware Server is a free, hosted virtualization product that supports the broadest range of Windows and Linux operating systems. Now in its second generation version, with over three million copies distributed, VMware Server is extremely easy to use since it installs like an application over a host OS, and is ideal for test and development environments, as well as for users who need to run legacy operating systems and application stacks.
- VMware vCenter™ Converter is a free product that anyone can use to easily convert physical servers into virtual machines running on VMware ESXi or VMware Server. This simple-to-use tool enables SMBs to consolidate underutilized hardware onto a VMware virtualized box, freeing that hardware for other uses.
