Infrastructure Management White Papers

Making Your Business Disaster Ready with Virtual Infrastructure.

Overview VMware® server software enables multiple versions of an operating system - Microsoft® Windows®, Linux, or Novell® NetWare® and associated applications - to run simultaneously on the same piece of hardware, or to be moved between physical systems while the server software is running.

VMware server software consolidates applications and infrastructure services running on diverse operating systems onto fewer highly scalable, reliable enterprise-class servers, including blade servers.

Benefits of VMware software running on blades include: *70% blades hardware utilization
*Instant provisioning
*Zero-downtime maintenance
*Fast reconfiguration
*Continuous workload consolidation
