Virtual Infrastructure Lowers Costs and Increases Scalability for Petrobras Energía
"We were quickly able to recover our investment in the software because it resulted in so many IT infrastructure savings. For example, we did not need to buy as much hardware, and the software allows us to conserve space and resources. Also, being able to quickly provision new servers and centrally manage our infrastructure has created an efficient IT infrastructure."

"Before, we didn’t have unused servers lying around that we could just use and throw away. We couldn’t take on projects if it was not in our budget. Now, we have requests for projects, and we can put in a virtual machine. We’ve been able to run more applications, including some in-house projects.”

VMware and Silversands Bring Aid to Plan
“Rather than concentrating on the server consolidation capabilities of VMware software, we have focused on its capabilities as a tool for increasing flexibility. The new virtual infrastructure will be critical to the success of high-profile application rollouts as well as day-to-day infrastructure changes. The subsequent advantages of reduced hardware costs and improved utilization will simply be an added bonus.”
Portman Building Society
The society implemented VMware technology to virtualize its servers, thus quickly gaining a robust recovery model.
“We couldn’t do a disaster recovery. We’d come too far too quickly.But now with VMware technology, we can do a same-site machinerecovery in minutes. That was a massive win for us.”
Portman Building Society
The society implemented VMware Infrastructure 3 to virtualize its servers, thus saving money and space while improving performance and efficiency.
“With VMware Infrastructure 3, we’ve actually filled gaps we couldn’t with ESX Server 2.5, such as hardware availability and the ability for the ESX host to fix itself or have another host take over if things go wrong—without any manual intervention.”

Princeton Softech Seizes New Market Opportunities with VMware Lab Manager
“Before acquiring VMware Lab Manager, we didn’t have the versatile, on-demand environment we needed. Virtualization helped, but even then, requiring IT support to provision specific environments created bottlenecks. Lab Manager allows us to support as many ERP and CRM environments as possible to satisfy the needs of our engineering talent and to achieve our business objectives.”

VMware Insures Improved Customer Service for Prudential
"Without a means to host our existing standard desktop in the UK, we would not have been able to provide remote access to our employees in such a short space of time. VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure proved to be the most flexible and cost effective approach. We can now run our standard desktop remotely and we haven't needed to re-write any of our applications."
Purdue Pharma LLC
Mission-Critical Reliability in the Data Center and QC Lab with VMware Software on Stratus Servers
“When you start virtualizing Windows servers, as we do in our data center, the need for Stratus’ fault tolerance really becomes obvious. The other important area is where manufacturing data is collected and maintained. We have to secure the batch history and data to avoid having to reject a batch that may be valued at more than a million dollars.”

Qualcomm and VMware: Ten Page Case Paper
“We’ve utilized VMotion extremely heavily. It offers so many benefits: being able to deal with downtimes, being able to do maintenance on the hardware supporting ESX hosts, and being able to balance resources. VMotion is a must-have capability for anyone seriously thinking of deploying virtual infrastructure.”
Republic Polytechnic
At the Forefront of Educational Excellence, Republic Polytechnic Uses VMware for Innovative Problem-Based Learning
"VMware Workstation and VMware ESX have given us a platform to build a much larger infrastructure when we move to our new campus. In addition, they helped us save money on hardware and real estate without compromising our ability to deliver a real-world experience to our students."
Rochester Institute of Technology
The Department chose VMware® Workstation to create multiple operating environments on virtual machines so that students can create their own virtual local area networks.
“VMware is a great addition to our academic program. It’s given us the capability to do things we’ve never done before…. It’s changing the way we do business; changing how people view security, system rollouts, testing…. It’s changing how they see just about everything in the computing world.”
