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.

Unified Management

The VMware vCenter platform – built on VMware vCenter Server – is the universal hub for virtualization management. Monitoring, provisioning, patching, migration, capacity management, disaster recovery, and many other critical functions can be managed from a single console for multiple application platforms. VMware’s partners also allow you extend VMware vCenter’s capability through integrated plug-ins.

VMware vCenter offers the most advanced virtualization management platform in the industry. With vCenter, you are able to focus on managing pooled infrastructure rather than individual components. vCenter is designed to aggregate networking, storage, memory and CPU resources and manage them as a collection of resources that can be allocated dynamically based on business needs.

VMware vCenter also protects your existing investments. You need to manage physical and virtual systems, and have existing solutions that provide critical systems management capabilities across the datacenter. VMware believes you need to flexibility to manage physical and virtual systems seamlessly with the best solutions for the job. VMware vCenter solutions integrate with your existing management tools for end-to-end physical and virtual management. VMware has partnered with industry-leading systems management vendors like BMC, CA, HP, and IBM/Tivoli to make sure you have certified solutions for broad datacenter management.
