Guardian Life Ensures Secured, Controlled Desktop Use for Home, Offshore, and Disaster Recovery Situations
“We are looking forward to deploying VMware ACE to provide a secure & controlled desktop to users who work from home, offshore, and for disaster recovery. The VRM technology in ACE is very valuable to Guardian as it will allow us to enforce network and patch management compliance policies on environments that connect to our corporate network.”
Genilogix
Genilogix bases its full range of products and services on VMware virtualization technology.
“Unlike virtual software from other vendors, VMware ESX installs directly on the bare metal of the server, so it isn’t vulnerable to any instabilities of the operating system. It gives us excellent performance—up to 22 percent better response time.”

VMware infrastructure improves IT performance, accelerates server deployment process, eliminates customer downtime during maintenance cycles.
“Our objective is to provide medium-sized businesses with a means to lease highly available, managed virtual infrastructure for production, test, development, demo environments and disaster recovery with guaranteed and measured service levels. Without the flexibility of VMware Infrastructure 3, sharing a cluster of computing resources with guaranteed service levels would be either too expensive or completely out of reach.”
Global Telecommunications Company
VMware Helps Global Telecom Provider* Increase Performance and Utilization While Phasing Out Old Hardware
“My company has 15 or 20 sites, and not all of them are using VMware software yet. I’m trying to communicate my successes internally to make the other sites aware of my experiences with VMware and to encourage broader adoption.”
GMAC Rescap
VMware technology and services create an easily administered virtual infrastructure that reduces IT overhead
“Our relationship with VMware technology has led us to implement a ‘VMware first’ policy for all new OS instances, where an exception process has to be followed to order physical hardware. That’s how strongly we feel about the benefits of virtualization.”
Granger Community Church
“We had some pretty powerful servers that weren’t necessarily being utilized to their full capacity. VMware Server lets us get more bang for the buck out of our hardware by creating multiple virtual machines to run on the servers.”

VMware Helps Guardian Retire Unsupported Hardware, Migrate Applications Without Reinstallation
"Without VMware, migrating these machines would have taken months to years because we’d have to rewrite everything. With VMware, it took only hours, and our systems and configurations were preserved as-is. P2V Assistant really makes life so much easier."
Hancock Bank
"Without VMware Infrastructure, it would have taken us weeks to recover our critical systems when Hurricane Katrina hit our datacenter. VMware Infrastructure enabled us to meet our recovery objectives—we got our critical systems up and running within 24 hours, allowing us to get our critical applications back in service within 48 hours."
Heald College
Heald College Keeps Classes on Track with VMware Workstation
"VMware Workstation gives our instructors the flexibility to do anything they need to do without affecting other classes, and it makes the transition from one class to another much smoother. It's really enhanced our ability to offer hands-on experience with lots of different configurations to our information technology graduates."
Health First
Health First Maintains a High Level of System Availability while Managing Unprecedented Growth
"We were able to maintain an extremely high level of clinical and enterprise system availability despite the challenge of managing unprecedented growth in our existing data center environment. Not only did we manage to avoid any type of temporary deployment outside our protected environment, but we also managed to save over $100,000 in capital expenditures. Additionally, we experienced operational improvements including the ability to rapidly respond to customer requirements."

VMware® Infrastructure Enables Cost-Effective Operation Of Multiple Virtual Machines On Consolidated Server Hardware
“VMware virtualization has enabled us to support a sharp rise in staff numbers without investing in several new physical servers or significantly upgrading our data center space, cooling and power."
Hewlett-Packard
HP Adopts VMware Virtual Infrastructure Worldwide
"The VMware implementation eliminates a large amount of costs for hardware contracts and ups the utilization of the servers; so HP ends up getting a better bang for the buck.”
Huntsville Hospital
VMware VDI Solution Just What the Doctor Ordered for Huntsville Hospital
"We’re in the process of opening a new emergency room at the hospital. Because of the critical nature of the computing environment, it has to be up and running extremely quickly. With VMware VDI, instead of having to buy 150 PCs and fully configure them, we’re going to roll out 150 thin clients, connect them to their pre-configured hosted virtual desktops, and be on our way."
IBM
"Thanks to automation features alone in VMware Lab Manager, we’re saving two hours per person per build-verification test. Without VMware, this dramatically improved efficiency would not be possible."
Imperial Parking
"Our time to recover is quite low: it takes about four hours to recover our entire data center of 50 virtual machines. The same physical 50 machines would take days, if not weeks, to restore."
Indiana University, Kelly School of Business
VMware® Infrastructure decreases costs, streamlines server deployment, and reduces energy consumption.
“Stop living in the past and jump on board with the future. In 2001, we were testing applications with various browsers with VMware Workstation. It was an exceptional product in its infancy and, today, it’s the standard for long-term IT upgrades and infrastructure utilization.”
ING Insurance Berhad
VMware Infrastructure Enables Multiple Virtual Machines To Run On A Single Physical Server, Optimizing Computing Resources, Delivering Scalability And Enabling Fast Server Provisioning To Support Application Delivery.
“VMware virtualization technologies have enabled us to deliver a dynamic, scalable and highly availabile architecture to support our business.”
Interior Health
Interior Health migrates physical servers scheduled for replacement to virtual ones, saving money, offering High Availability and creating a greener data center.
“Interior Health embarked on virtualizing applications as a reliability and space-saving strategy, but we subsequently discovered another huge advantage: energy savings. Virtualization is an excellent way to reduce energy consumption quickly, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost.”
International Truck
VMware Virtual Infrastructure Avoids $1.1 Million In Cost for International Truck and Engine Corporation
“We have a developer start on a development environment, build a new application, get everything set up and working properly, and then we use VMotion to migrate it to a production environment. It has worked well; even better than we could have hoped.”
Intuit
"VMware Lab Manager helped us address several key pain points over our previous physical infrastructure. Now, the test environment is easier to configure, runs tests faster and requires less hardware and IT resources."
IXIS Capital Markets
VMware Virtual Infrastructure Helps IXIS Maintain a Bull-Market Edge
“Using VMware VMotion, we completed a patch upgrade from ESX Server 2.5 to 2.5.1 during the week, while our traders were trading, with zero downtime. Try doing that in a physical world!”
