VMWare Virtual Infrastructure 3
VMware Infrastructure 3 is the next generation of industry-leading infrastructure virtualisation software that virtualises servers, storage and networking, allowing multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run independently in virtual machines while sharing physical resources.
The suite delivers comprehensive virtualisation, management, resource optimisation, application availability and operational automation capabilities.
You can minimize your total cost of infrastructure ownership by:
- Increase hardware utilisation and reduce hardware requirements with server consolidation ratios commonly exceeding ten virtual machines per physical processor.
- Reduce required data center square footage, rack space, power, cooling, cabling, storage and network components by reducing the sheer number of physical machines.
- Decrease labour cost by simplifying and automating personnel intensive IT operations.
- Companies deploying Virtual Infrastructure 3 have reported a decrease in hardware/software costs of 40%; decrease in operating costs of between 50 and 70% with server administrators now looking after 30 units instead of 10.
