Virtualization for Business Needs

VMware software is used by enterprises large and small to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their IT operations. Find out how VMware software can help consolidate servers, optimize software development and provide affordable business continuity.

Server Consolidation

Reduce IT Costs While Improving Flexibility & Responsiveness

Don’t let server sprawl and platform dependencies prevent your organization from achieving its goals. Take control of your IT infrastructure and help it reach its full potential by using virtual infrastructure solutions from VMware to:

Reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50%
Reduce the time it takes to provision new servers by up to 70%
Save more than £1,500 per year for every server workload virtualized

Virtualization for Remote & Branch Offices

Control & Manage Remote Servers & Desktops from a Central Location

Remote sites such as regional offices, retail stores and bank branches present unique challenges for IT organizations. Management complexity, inadequate infrastructure and a lack of administrative resources can make it difficult for companies to deliver consistent and scalable IT services to their remote offices in a timely manner. Virtualization is a great way to address these issues, and VMware offers solutions for remote and branch office management that will help you:

Simplify IT management and accelerate provisioning of remote systems
Ensure always-on availability and recover quickly from disasters
Reduce IT hardware and operating costs for servers and desktops

Virtual Lab Automation

Optimize Your Development and Test Lab Infrastructure

Streamline development and test lab infrastructure and operations through Virtual Lab Automation. With VMware Lab Manager, VMware’s Virtual Lab Automation system, IT can leverage VMware Infrastructure to achieve significant cost savings and operational benefits by pooling servers, networking, storage and other resources that can be shared across development and test teams. Provision complex multi-machine configurations in seconds, rather than days. Provide on-demand access to a shared library of complex system environments, giving your developers and testers instant use of the resources they need, while leaving IT in administrative control.

Business Continuity

Keep Your Business Running Non-Stop

Can your business afford any disruption of IT services? Thousands of data centers experience significant services interruptions every year, at the cost of lost business revenue and lost data—or worse. And while disasters and unplanned downtime get the big headlines, planned downtime for hardware maintenance and backups is the cause of the majority of service downtime.

Desktop Management and Control

Transform your Desktop Infrastructure with Virtualization

Organizations today must support a wide variety of mobile and remote users, from telecommuters and salespeople in the field to call center workers, consultants and contractors. These users access sensitive information assets on a range of equipment, including laptops, thin clients and unmanaged PCs, making it difficult to support end users in a consistent and secure manner.
