Server Consolidation through VMWare Virtualization

Reduce IT Costs While Maintaining Control and Offering Choice

Don't let server sprawl and platform dependencies prevent your organization from achieving its goals. Take control of your IT infrastructure with VMware vSphere. Cut capital and operating costs while increasing IT service delivery without being locked into limited choices of operating systems, applications, and hardware.

• Reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50% and energy costs by 80%, saving more than $3,000 per year for every server workload virtualized
• Reduce the time it takes to provision new servers by up to 70%
• Decrease downtime and improve reliability with business continuity and built-in data disaster recovery
• Deliver IT services on-demand now and in the future, independent of hardware, OS, application or infrastructure providers

Increase Server Utilization to as Much as 80%

You can eliminate server sprawl by converting your x86 physical machines into fully functional virtual machines. VMware virtual machines run independently from the underlying hardware and are supported on a broad array of physical servers, from 2-CPU to 32-CPU systems. Each VMware virtual machine enables you to run Windows, Linux, Solaris and NetWare operating systems and software applications on the same piece of hardware at the same time.

Reduce Hardware Requirements by a 10:1 Ratio or Better

Using VMware vSphere, your organization can significantly reduce the amount of IT hardware in the data center. Each instance of VMware ESX can support more than 100 virtual machines. In fact, the vast majority of our customers run as many as 10 or more applications on a single piece of hardware.

Cut Hardware & Operating Costs in Half

Fewer servers means less money spent on energy consumption due to reduced power and cooling requirements. Cost savings can be significant, approximately $500-600 per server, per year. When totaled with the hardware cost savings and other capital reductions, VMware solutions can help your organization save more than $3,000 annually for every server you virtualize.
