Choosing a Cloud Infrastructure Solution

As virtualization is now a critical component to an overall IT strategy, it is important to choose the right vendor. VMware is the leading virtualization provider, offering the most trusted and reliable platform for building internal cloud infrastructures and federating to external clouds.

From working with analysts, customers, and partners, we’ve learned that you likely need a solution that meets ALL of the following requirements:

• Is built on a robust, proven foundation
• Delivers a platform for shared IT services
• Provides a complete solution for virtualisation and cloud management
• Supports your entire IT infrastructure
• Is proven across tens of thousands of customer deployments.

Only VMware delivers on all of these important requirements. And best of all, VMware delivers while providing low total-cost-of-ownership (TCO).

Virtualisation dramatically improves the efficiency and availability of resources and applications in your organization. Internal resources are underutilized under the old “one server, one application” model and IT admins spend too much time managing servers rather than innovating. An automated datacenter, built on a VMware virtualization platform, lets you respond to market dynamics faster and more efficiently than ever before. VMware vSphere delivers resources, applications—even servers—when and where they’re needed. VMware customers typically save 50-70% on overall IT costs by consolidating their resource pools and delivering highly available machines with VMware vSphere.

• Run multiple operating systems on a single computer including Windows, Linux and more.
• Let your Mac run Windows creating a virtual PC environment for all your Windows applications.
• Reduce capital costs by increasing energy efficiency and requiring less hardware and increasing your server to admin ratio.
• Build up business continuity through improved disaster recovery solutions and deliver high availability throughout the datacenter.
