The Responsive Data Center.
Dynamic. Efficient. Available.

VMware? Infrastructure is the most widely deployed software suite for optimizing and managing industry standard IT environments through virtualization ? from the desktop to the data center. The only production-ready virtualization software suite, VMware Infrastructure is proven to deliver results at more than 20,000 customers of all sizes, used in a wide variety of environments and applications. The
suite is fully optimized, rigorously tested and certified for the widest range of hardware, operating systems and software applications. VMware Infrastructure provides built-in management, resource optimization, application availability and operational automation capabilities that deliver transformative cost savings as well as increased operational efficiency, flexibility and IT service levels.

How is VMware Infrastructure Used ?
VMware Infrastructure delivers a responsive IT - dynamic, efficient and available. Eliminating many of the constraints of traditional hardware, VMware Infrastructure allows companies to:
? Implement Production Server Consolidation and    Containment.
Contain server sprawl by running software applications in virtual machines on fewer, highly scalable, reliable enterprise-class servers. Customers of VMware Infrastructure have been able to consolidate 10 or more virtual machines per physical processor, thereby drastically increasing server utilization and containing server sprawl.

? Provide Advanced Business Continuity Protection at Lower Cost.
Deliver high availability for critical applica-tions with cost-effective virtualization-based solutions. With VMware Infrastructure, customers can implement a unified disaster recovery platform that allows many production virtual machines to be recovered in the event of hardware failure without investing in costly one-to-one mapping of production and DR hardware.

? Streamline Software Test & Development.
Consolidate disparate development, testing and staging environments involving multiple operating systems and multi-tier applications. Set up self-service developer portals to increase developer productivity.

? Secure and Manage Enterprise Desktops.
Secure enterprise desktops of geographically dispersed workforce by providing a standard corporate desktop image in a virtual machine. At the same time, provide standardized enterprise desktop environments hosted in virtual machines accessed through thin clients or PCs.

? Simplify Infrastructure Provisioning.
Reduce the time for provisioning new infrastructure to minutes with sophisticated automation capabilities. Virtual appliances combine simple deployment of software with the benefits of pre-configured devices. Centralize control and responsibility for hardware resources while giving business units and application owners complete control over how resources are utilized.

? Re-host Legacy Applications.
Migrate legacy operating systems and software applications to virtual machines running on new hardware for better reliability.


What's Included in VMware Infrastructure?
VMware ESX Server
VMware ESX Server is the foundation for the dynamic, self-optimizing IT infrastructure. VMware ESX Server is a robust, production-proven virtualization layer that abstracts processor, memory, storage and networking resources into multiple virtual machines. ESX Server increases hardware utilization and dramatically decreases capital and operating cost by sharing hardware resources across a large number of virtual machines. ESX Server improves service levels even to the most resource-intensive applications with advanced resource management, high availability, and security features.

VMware VMFS
VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) is a high-performance cluster file system for that allows multiple installations of ESX Server to access the same virtual machine storage concurrently. VMFS enables the virtualization-based distributed infrastructure services delivered by VMware VirtualCenter, VMware VMotionTM technology, VMware DRS and VMware HA.

VMware Virtual SMP
VMware Virtual Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) enhances virtual machine performance by enabling a single virtual machine to use multiple physical processors, simultaneously. A unique VMware feature, Virtual SMP enables virtualization of the most processor and resource-intensive enterprise applications such as databases, ERP and CRM.

VMware VirtualCenter
VirtualCenter delivers centralized management, operational automation, resource optimization and high availability to IT environments. These capabilities equip IT environments with unprecedented levels of serviceability, efficiency and reliability. VirtalCenter exposes a rich set of programmatic Web service interfaces that enable integration with third party system management products as well as customized development.

VMware DRS
VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) aligns available resources with pre-defined business priorities while streamlining labor and resource intensive operations.

VMware VMotion
VMotion technology allows the migration of live virtual machines, enabling non-disruptive maintenance of IT environments.

VMware HA
VMware High Availability (HA) enables cost-effective application availability independent of hardware and operating systems.

VMware Consolidated Backup
VMware Consolidated Backup provides an easy to use, centralized backup facility for virtual machines. It enables virtual machine contents to be backed up from a centralized Microsoft? Windows 2003 proxy server rather than directly from ESX Server.
