VMware Features and Benefits

VMware provides solutions for the entire IT landscape of an enterprise:

Security

VMware offers secure and robust virtualisation software and has both the technology and the processes to ensure that this high standard is maintained in all current and future products.

Performance

Most x86 computers today operate at a mere 10-15% of their total computing capacity, leaving vast IT resources untapped and unusable.  With virtualisation, you can increase utilisation to as much as 85% by running multiple operating systems on a single computer.

Networking

VMware technology gives you the ability to network virtual machines and build complex networks within a single VMware host or across multiple hosts.  Virtual networks offer functionality not possible with physical networks, providing organisations with benefits such as resource and rack space optimisation, reduced power and cooling needs and simplified network management.

Storage

VMware technology provides a fundamentally better way to manage storage resources for your virtual infrastructure, giving your organisation the ability to improve storage resource utilisation and flexibility, reduce management overhead and increase application uptime allowing you to leverage your existing storage infrastructure.

Availability

VMware ensures high availability of your IT services and business-critical applications with failover and load balancing along with hardware-independent backup and recovery.

Economy and Environment

VMware can help your organisation to decrease its power consumption through a reduced server footprint.  This contributes to lower costs and quicker ROI and helps enable an organisation to meet its environmental responsibilities.
