The Value of Virtualisation

Virtualization technology is transforming the IT landscape, enabling organisations to dramatically improve the performance and efficiency of IT infrastructure. According to the Yankee Group, more than 60% of enterprises today reduce costs, manage server sprawl and increase their operational efficiency. In fact, nearly 9 out of every 10 enterprises will have implemented virtualization in their IT infrastructure by the end of 2007.

VMware Solutions

Server Consolidation and Containment - Eliminate server sprawl by deploying systems into virtual machines that can run safely and move transparently across shared hardware

Business Continuity - Reduce the cost and complexity of business continuity by encapsulating entire systems into single files that can be replicated and restored onto any target server

Enterprise Desktop - Secure unmanaged PCs without compromising end user autonomy by layering a security policy in software around desktop virtual machines.

Virtualisation Background

Virtualization is a time-tested concept that has proven its value in the mainframe world since the 1960s to partition large, mainframe hardware. Because the computing power of mainframes was so large, they were designed to be logically split into separate, smaller virtual machines. With virtualization, you could then run multiple projects at the same time on a single mainframe.

As time went on, the bulk of industry computing moved from mainframes to minicomputers, to PCs. Today, personal computers or servers based on x86 architecture are faced with the same challenges that mainframes faced in the 1960s. VMware has applied the mainframe partitioning approach to today's x86-based machines.

Unlike mainframes, which were designed to accommodate partitioning,x86 machines were not created for multiple partitions. VMware had to overcome formidable challenges to create virtual machines out of x86 computers. VMware was the originator of virtual machines for x86 machines Today, VMware has modernized virtualization technology, and has achieved success that is building momentum for virtualization in all x86 computers.
