Run Business Critical Applications on the Most Trusted Virtual Infrastructure

Turn your datacenter into a secure private cloud without throwing away existing applications, hardware and know-how. Support any application workload by bridging on-demand to a public cloud from the VMware broad ecosystem of leading cloud service providers. This hybrid cloud lets you choose the most efficient infrastructure for any application—public on-demand pay-as-you-go clouds or your internal private cloud, both built on the most trusted virtualization platform. Gain visibility into pooled resources and the elasticity you need to react to changing business requirements, as you deliver IT as a Service (ITaaS) with policy-driven automation.

With vSphere and our virtualization and cloud management products, you can:

• Maximize efficiency and ensure service levels with capacity management
• Automate disaster recovery plans with disaster recovery management
• Ensure performance SLAs are met with performance management
• Get accurate costs for delivering IT services with cost reporting management
