| VMware vSphere™, the industry’s first cloud operating system, leverages the power of virtualization to transform datacenters into dramatically simplified cloud computing infrastructures and enables IT organizations to deliver the next generation of flexible and reliable IT services, using internal and external resources, securely and with low risk.
Building on the proven power of the VMware® Infrastructure platform, used by more than 130,000 customers, VMware vSphere™ dramatically reduces capital and operating costs, and increases control over delivery of IT services while preserving the flexibility to choose between any type of OS, application and hardware, hosted in-house or using external resources.
With VMware vSphere™ providing the foundation for internal and external clouds, using federation and standards to bridge internal and external cloud infrastructures, organizations of all sizes can achieve the full benefits of cloud computing.
Key Benefits
VMware vSphere™ abstracts applications and information from the complexity of underlying infrastructure, creating internal cloud infrastructure so IT can focus on the support and enablement of business value. Benefits of VMware vSphere™ include:
• Reduced costs and maximum IT efficiency: VMware vSphere™ helps organizations deliver IT services more efficiently by eliminating unnecessary investments and reducing the cost and complexity of managing and maintaining IT infrastructure. By adopting VMware vSphere™, customers can achieve a 50 percent reduction in capital expenses and a reduction of more than 60 percent in operational expenses per application, dramatically lowering the total cost of owning and operating enterprise applications.
Organizations that use VMware vSphere™ can achieve consolidation ratios of well over 15:1, with automated management and dynamic allocation of resources to applications across internal and external cloud infrastructures. The result is a clean break from the expensive model of application and information delivery that is tied to specific systems and architectures, and a seamless move to a self-managed, dynamically optimized IT environment for the most efficient delivery of business services.
• Increased IT control through service level automation: As businesses have become increasingly reliant on IT services, the effective delivery of applications can mean the difference between growth and decline, success and failure. Businesses depend on IT to fully control the quality-of-service for application delivery, without compromise. VMware vSphere™ 4 automates the delivery of service-level agreements (SLAs) covering availability, security and scalability shifting the paradigm of datacenter management from infrastructure to service delivery.
Application owners who need to roll out new business services are shielded from the complexity of servers, storage and network infrastructure, leaving them to focus on the delivery of business value. The result is an automated, controlled environment that is resilient to failures and responsive to changing requirements without complexity or operational overhead.
