Taking virtualization further
Once the benefit of virtualizing physical servers has been
realised the next stage in most VMware projects is to move to a
virtual infrastructure.
Our VMware customers have harnessed the power of infrastruction
virtualization to better manage their IT capacity, provide better
service levels, and streamline IT processes.
What is a virtual infrastructure?
A virtual machine lets you share
the resources of a single physical computer across multiple virtual
machines for maximum efficiency.
A virtual infrastructure lets you share your physical machine
resources across your entire infrastructure. Resources are shared
across multiple virtual machines and applications.
Using VMware virtualization your IT infrastructure can dynamically
adapt by mapping the physical resources of your infrastructure to
application demands, even as those needs evolve and change.
Ensure your applications are always available
You can quickly and easily add or remove virtual servers to your
network using pre-defined templates. With VMware High
Availabilty (HA) and vMotion you can eliminate planned
downtime through live migration of virtual machines across physical
servers with no disruption to users or serivces.
Fault Tolerance (FT) introduces continuous
availability for applications in the event of server failures by
creating a live shadow instance of a virtual machine on another
physical server, allowing instantaneous failover between the two
instances in the event of hardware failure. FT eliminates
even the smallest chance of data loss or disruption.
Virtual
infrastructures consist of:
- Bare-metal Hypervisor software
- Virtual infrasture resources and management
tools
- Optimisation solutions for DR
VMware customers report dramatic results when they adopt virtual
infrastructure solutions, including:
60-80% utilization rates for x86
servers (up from 5-15% in non-virtualized PCs)
Cost savings of more than £1,500
annually for every workload virtualized
Ability to provision new applications
in minutes instead of days or weeks
85% improvement in recovery time from
unplanned downtime
