Virtualization provides opportunities to reduce complexity, improve service levels to the business and lower capital and
operating costs to provide and maintain IT infrastructure. Over the past five years many organizations have specifically
deployed VMware infrastructure software on industry standard systems to significantly reduce their hardware, data center, and operational costs--many report 70-80% cost savings, and 3-6 month ROI periods--while achieving unexpected gains in operational flexibility, efficiency, and agility. To date over one million server workloads have been virtualized on this infrastructure. 90% of our customers are now rolling out this infrastructure for production usage, and over 25% of them standardized on a VMware environment for industry standard workloads. Today, our most successful customers run thousands of production application instances using VMware infrastructure and have found it to be a catalyst for implementing a true service oriented IT model.
Virtualization dramatically improves the efficiency and availability of resources and applications in your organization. Internal resources are underutilized under the old “one server, one application” model and IT admins spend too much time managing servers rather than innovating. An automated datacenter, built on a VMware virtualization platform, lets you respond to market dynamics faster and more efficiently than ever before. VMware Infrastructure delivers resources, applications—even servers—when and where they’re needed. VMware customers typically save 50-70% on overall IT costs by consolidating their resource pools and delivering highly available machines with VMware Infrastructure.

What is Virtualization?
Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was designed to run a single operating system and a single application. This leaves most machines vastly underutilized. Virtualization lets you run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, sharing the resources of that single computer across multiple environments. Different virtual machines can run different operating systems and multiple applications on the same physical computer. While others are leaping aboard the virtualization bandwagon now, VMware is the market leader in virtualization. Our technology is production-proven, used by more than 120,000 customers, including 100% of the Fortune 100.
How Does Virtualization Work?
The VMware virtualization platform is built on a business-ready architecture. Use software such as VMware Infrastructure and VMware ESXi (a free download) to transform or “virtualize” the hardware resources of an x86-based computer—including the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller—to create a fully functional virtual machine that can run its own operating system and applications just like a “real” computer. Each virtual machine contains a complete system, eliminating potential conflicts. VMware virtualization works by inserting a thin layer of software directly on the computer hardware or on a host operating system. This contains a virtual machine monitor or “hypervisor” that allocates hardware resources dynamically and transparently. Multiple operating systems run concurrently on a single physical computer and share hardware resources with each other. By encapsulating an entire machine, including CPU, memory, operating system, and network devices, a virtual machine is completely compatible with all standard x86 operating systems, applications, and device drivers. You can safely run several operating systems and applications at the same time on a single computer, with each having access to the resources it needs when it needs them.
Build your Datacenter on a Flexible Architecture.
Virtualizing a single physical computer is just the beginning. The VMware virtual datacenter OS (VDC-OS) scales across hundreds of interconnected physical computers and storage devices to form an entire virtual infrastructure. You don’t need to assign servers, storage, or network bandwidth permanently to each application. Instead, your hardware resources are dynamically allocated when and where they’re needed. This “internal cloud” means your highest priority applications will always have the resources they need without wasting money on excess hardware only needed for peak times. The internal cloud can connect to an external cloud as well, giving your business the flexibility, availability and scalability it needs to thrive.
Manage your Resources with the Lowest TCO
It’s not just virtualization that’s important. You need the management tools to run those machines and the ability to run the wide selection of applications and infrastructure services your business depends on. VMware lets you increase service availability while eliminating error-prone manual tasks. IT operations are more efficient and effective with VMware virtualization. Your staff will handle double or triple the number of servers, giving users access to the services they need while retaining centralized control. Deliver built-in availability, security, and performance across the board, from the desktop to the datacenter.
