Department of Energy
The site implemented VMware Infrastructure 3 to virtualize its servers and is also considering VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to virtualize its desktops.
“My required uptime during normal duty hours is 99.6 percent. With the physical environment in the past, there was no way we could maintain that, so we got dinged every month on performance bonuses. But since the implementation of VMware, we’re exceeding 99.9 percent.”
Dominican University
Using VMware Infrastructure 3 products to virtualize its application servers, Dominican University dramatically cut disaster recovery time, reduced hardware replacement cost and improved CPU utilization.
“In the past, if a server failed, disaster recovery time would have taken anywhere from one to three days. With VMware technology, recovery time is reduced to just hours.”
drugstore.com, inc.
Upgrading to VMware Infrastructure 3 enabled drugstore.com, inc. to free up additional hardware and SAN space, as well as operations team time, thanks to the VMware Infrastructure 3 resource management capabilities.
“The fact that VMware Infrastructure 3 allows us to aggregate multiple physical servers into one dynamic resource pool has been quite helpful. Through grouping servers with high hardware demands into defined resource pools, we are able to sustain higher numbers of virtual machines within the same cluster. This eliminates the need for additional infrastructure and helps drugstore.com, inc. save money.”

EDS
Use VMware virtualization technologies to enable EDS and its clients to reduce environmental impact without compromising corporate objectives
“The increasing maturity of virtualization and the growing support from independent software vendors is helping fuel deployment of VMware virtualization across production environments. This means more businesses are redeploying or disposing of inefficient hardware and consolidating their data center infrastructure onto multiple virtual server environments, thus contributing to a reduction in power consumption."
EFI
EFI used VMware Infrastructure 3 to minimize the complexity and reduce the cost of developing, testing, and deploying this multi-tiered environment.
“In any large multi-tier application deployment, you have to use resources such as consultants whose costs can add up if they have to wait for test and development systems to be set up. With VMware Infrastructure, we can add another compute block to the cluster or whip up new virtual machines quickly. As a result our developers have the resources they need, when they need them, and we’ve really mitigated ‘budget creep.’ That flexibility has to do with the functionality and responsiveness of VMware products, which enables us to serve our customer better and ultimately to save my company money.”
Energie AG
Energie AG Achieves 25:1 Server Consolidation Ratio Plus High Availability
"The need to save space was the immediate reason for our migration into a virtual infrastructure. In addition to a consolidation ratio of 25:1, we also somewhat incidentally acquired an elegant high-availability solution. The cost factor is the ‘dot on the i’ of the entire project."
Engen
Engen Pumps More out of Existing Resources with VMware Virtual Infrastructure
“We used to face a significant challenge in the delivery of new systems to remote offices, due to a lack of infrastructure flexibility, remote management tools and local IT staff. Now that we have virtualized our systems on VMware virtual infrastructure, we can manage and deploy servers to six remote locations from a entral point, whilst streamlining the provisioning of new services and halving maintenance costs.”

Fjord Seafood
Fjord Seafood Nets 66 Percent Server Reduction with VMware Virtual Infrastructure
"I can't tell you what a relief it is to be able to work in this way. Before we discovered VMware technology we were expecting to have to work on a ‘one application, one server' basis. VMware ESX allows us to run Windows 2000, Windows 2003 and SuSe Linux 9 on just two physical machines, whilst also squeezing enough performance out of our Backup ERP system. I did not think this was possible."
