Studies carried out by well-known research firms show that the average use of Intel servers in Windows and/or Linux environments varies between 15% and 35%, implying underutilization with consequent high costs.

In addition, the difficulties inherent in management, as well as the constant need to consolidate environments and the almost daily changes in the IT needs of a firm, make the operation of these systems a difficult and expensive task.

VMWARE Technology

Virtual infrastructure provides an “abstract layer” between the processing resources, data storage and network, and the software that depends on these resources.

VMWARE carries out the virtualization of the infrastructure of systems based on Intel servers, simplifying the Information Technology area of firms, increasing the utilization of computational resources already acquired, and responding more quickly to business demands.

Various virtual machines can be created on a single server simply by clicking the mouse. Movement between environments is simple and fast, controlled by the operator in the VMWARE environment, simplifying management, increasing efficiency, and reducing IT costs.

Benefits

The adoption of a virtual infrastructure gives firms greater capacity to adapt to the constant changes in the business environment:

An increase in the rate of utilization of resources of x86 servers to approximately 60% to 80%;

Response to solicitations for changes measured in minutes;

Reduction of the time it takes to make infrastructure available for new applications from days to seconds;

Zero downtime for hardware maintenance without the need to wait for time slots on a maintenance schedule.

vSphere 4.0 - The new operating system from VMware for Cloud Computing

VMware vSphere 4 is a solution that increases the limits of expansion of servers and virtual machines. With the industry's best support for new functions to aid the virtualization of hardware and a system I / O highly optimized, the VMware vSphere 4 is the first system developed for the market "Cloud Computing".

The vSphere 4 is hitting new records in terms of performance in the virtualization of environments as a result of improvements in the software and brought many years of working with suppliers of hardware. This translates into higher rates of consolidation and greater performance of applications, which in some cases exceeded the results obtained in physical environments.

Discover the new features of the product:

VMware Fault Tolerance - High availability for virtual machines. Provides zero downtime, zero data loss and availability of data in case of failure of hardware or software;

VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch - Simplifies the creation and administration Network. A single switch for all associated Hosts allows VMS to keep the same network configuration between hosts;

VMware Host Profiles - This is another new feature that allows export and automatically apply the settings of an ESX Host model, the new servers added to the Datacenter, thus optimizing the provisioning of the new ESX server;

VMware vStorage Thin Provisioning - With the ability to create in the thin disks, the disk VMDK occupies only being used on the disc, which saves space in your Storage and reduces cost with allocation;

VMware Hot Add - Add more hardware with zero downtime and allocate more CPU and memory in the VM without downtime and interruptions. The vSphere also allows the addition and removal of devices connected to the VM;

VMware Data Recovery - VMware Date Recovey allows the backup of virtual machines in a centralized manner, which significantly reduces the backup time and provides the backup of virtual machines running, without causing the interruption of services;

VMware vShield Zones - Strengthening the corporate security policy, implementing security policies and firewall at various levels in their virtual environment. You can monitor and control all traffic between the VMS in their datacenter;

Performance and Scalability - With the VMware version vSphere, the limits of capacity for increased hardware, now the ESX Host Color supports up to 64 CPU and 1 TB of physical memory, since the VM supports up to 8 Color vCPUs and 256 GB of vMemory;

VMware vSMP (8-way) - Allows a single virtual machine uses up to 8 virtual CPUs simultaneously. With more gain that allows a faster processing in the VM, improving performance computing applications;

VMware Distributed Power Management (DPM) - Allows greater energy saving in your virtual environment, as the DPM with the DRS balances the load on the hardware in Hosts.
