Cost Savings

In this tough economic environment, with declining budgets, IT is expected to do more with less. With cost, resource, and time pressures, how do you ensure continued innovation, while meeting your service level agreements (SLAs)? Take control of your IT and datacenter by building a virtualized infrastructure. With VMware virtualization, you can see immediate, quantifiable cost savings, while ensuring true business agility—the ability to rapidly respond to the changing market environment. In this economy, the question is not whether you can afford to virtualize with VMware, but rather “How can you afford not to?”

Today’s IT infrastructure has become increasingly complex and inflexible, with the typical company spending upwards of 70 percent of IT budget simply to maintain the status quo. IT productivity and business value is constrained by this overwhelming complexity.

VMware shifts the paradigm from managing “the raw ingredients of IT”, i.e. component-level infrastructure management, to cloud-based delivery of IT services. This dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of managing IT. VMware vSphere and the VMware vCenter Product Family simplify tedious day-to-day tasks such as provisioning, hardware maintenance, patching and capacity, incident, and performance management through policy-based automation. As a result IT resources and budgets can be shifted from tactical maintenance to strategic projects and innovation that dynamically respond to and ultimately drive the business.

VMware customers are shifting away from managing “IT plumbing” to cloud-based delivery of IT services, and dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of managing IT.  A recent survey of VMware customers demonstrates these benefits. Two out of three VMware customers surveyed reduced operating costs related to managing their VMware environment by at least 25% compared to a physical environment, and many achieved much greater savings. VMware customers are changing how IT is managed with the VMware vSphere platform and vCenter Product Family.
