VMware

VMware virtualization transforms the management of your IT infrastructure. Servers become dynamic software files that can be provisioned, managed, secured and protected with greater speed and efficiency using an on-demand pool of infrastructure resources. Applications can be delivered seamlessly with the highest level of availability and service levels, without the cost and complexity of traditional IT solutions.

 

VMware pioneered x86 virtualization over a decade ago and leads the way with innovations that simplify how you manage your IT infrastructure and the applications that depend upon it. Virtualization management is built into the VMware virtualization platform, providing an elastic, self-healing, self-managing compute utility.

 

VMware vCenter solutions provide a universal hub for managing the VMware vSphere platform. By simplifying and automating management tasks, you can increase IT productivity and create a more flexible and resilient infrastructure. From development and test labs to mission-critical applications, VMware vCenter enables the broadest visibility and deepest management of your virtualized datacenter.

Simplified Application and Infrastructure Management

The cloud operating system provides a dramatically better approach to IT management. The dynamic nature of virtualization accelerates IT processes like never before, and frees you from the tyranny of dependency on different parts of the infrastructure. The resources in your infrastructure are aggregated so you can stop worrying about managing resources in silos. Existing management tools and processes don’t adequately address the new world of virtualization on their own.

A cloud operating system is characterized by hardware and location independent applications, service level contracts between the infrastructure and applications and a shared, dynamic infrastructure.

With VMware vSphere, the industry's first cloud operating system, virtualization management is built-in to the platform, providing IT with an opportunity to transform management, and deliver higher service levels to the business. The maturity and expansiveness of the platform drives IT management efficiency, and lowers operating expenses by streamlining operations. Building blocks like VMware VMotion and VMware DRS let you balance workloads on the fly in response to changing business conditions, while VMware High Availability and VMware Fault Tolerance protect critical workloads against unplanned server downtime.

VMware vCenter solutions let you meet service levels with ease and simplicity – availability and other services can be provisioned with a few clicks. With VMware vCenter, you can lower operating costs and realize greater productivity than you can with tools designed for physical management.

VMware vCenter solutions provide comprehensive management of applications and infrastructure in this flexible, fluid environment and integrate with leading systems management vendors for seamless, end to end datacenter management.
