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

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.

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.
