Eliminating over-provisioning!
Get more out your existing resources by consolidating x86 server. The traditional “one workload, one box” approach to server provisioning inevitably leads to over-provisioning and underutilization of hardware assets. Most servers operate at only about 5-15% of their total load capacity. The costs of delivering power, cooling, network infrastructure, storage infrastructure, administrative overhead and real estate to underutilized servers continues to increase. 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 virtual machine represents a complete system—with processors, memory, networking, storage and BIOS—enabling you to run Windows, Linux, Solaris and NetWare operating systems and software applications on the same piece of hardware at the same time. Running multiple workloads on highly configured x86 servers lets you increase the utilization of your server hardware from 10-15% to as much as 80%.
Server virtualization also lets organizations pool common infrastructure resources to optimize their use. Through reduction in physical servers, real estate, power, cooling requirements, and IT costs, customers can reduce their TCO for running a wide range of business- and mission-critical applications.
Virtual Desktop and Servers
In the age of cost cutting with limited resources, desktop virtualisation helps to keep the cost down and maintain business agility.
