The Responsive Data Center.
Dynamic. Efficient.
Available.VMware® Infrastructure is the most
widely deployed software suite for optimizing
and managing industry standard IT environments through virtualisation –
from the desktop to the data center. The only production-ready virtualisation software suite, VMware Infrastructure is proven to deliver results for more than 20,000 customers of all sizes and used in a wide variety of environments and applications. The suite is fully optimized, rigorously tested and certified for the widest range of hardware, operating systems and software applications. VMware Infrastructure provides built-in centralized management, resource optimization, application availability and operational automation capabilities that deliver transformative cost savings as well as increased operational efficiency, flexibility and IT service levels.

How is VMware Infrastructure Used |
VMware Infrastructure delivers responsive
IT - dynamic, efficient and available.
Eliminating many of the constraints of
traditional hardware, VMware Infrastructure allows companies to:
• Implement production server
consolidation and containment.
Contain server sprawl by running software applications in virtual machines on fewer, highly scalable, reliable enterprise-class servers. Customers of VMware Infrastructure have been able to consolidate 10 or more virtual machines per physical processor, drastically increasing server utilization and containing server sprawl.
• Provide advanced business continuity
protection at lower cost.
Deliver high availability for critical applications
with cost-effective virtualization-based solutions. With VMware Infrastructure, customers can implement a standardized platform that allows many production virtual machines to be
recovered in the event of hardware failure,
without investing in costly redundant hardware.
• Streamline software test and development. Consolidate disparate development, testing
and staging environments involving multiple operating systems and multi-tiered applications.
• Secure and manage enterprise desktops.
Secure enterprise desktops of geographically dispersed workforce by providing a standard corporate desktop image in a virtual machine.
At the same time, provide standardized
enterprise desktop environments hosted in
virtual machines accessed through thin clients
or PCs
.• Simplify infrastructure provisioning.
Reduce the time for provisioning new infrastructure to minutes with sophisticated automation capabilities. Virtual appliances combine simple deployment of software with
the benefits of pre-configured devices.
Centralize control and responsibility for
hardware resources while giving business
units and application owners complete control over how resources are utilized.
• Re-host legacy applications.
Migrate legacy operating systems and software applications to virtual machines running on new hardware for better reliability.
What’s Included in VMware Infrastructure? |
VMware ESX
VMware ESX is the foundation for the dynamic, self-optimizing IT infrastructure. VMware ESX is
a robust, production proven virtualization layer
that abstracts processor, memory, storage and networking resources into multiple virtual machines. VMware ESX increases hardware utilization and dramatically decreases capital
and operating cost by sharing hardware resources across a large number of virtual machines. With advanced resource
management, high availability and security features; VMware ESX improves service levels even to the most resource-intensive
|
|
applications. VMware ESX is now also available
as VMware ESXi, offering all the same functionality but with a thin 32 MB footprint that provides unparalleled security and reliability. Additionally, integration as server firmware makes deployment fast and easy. VMware ESX virtualizes server storage and networking, allowing multiple applications to run in virtual machines on the same physical server.
VMware VMFS
VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) is a high-performance cluster file system that allows multiple installations of VMware ESX to access the same virtual machine storage concurrently. VMFS enables the virtualization-based distributed infrastructure services delivered by VMware VirtualCenter, VMware VMotion™ technology, VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMware High Availability (HA).
VMware Virtual SMP™ technology
VMware Virtual Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) technology enhances virtual machine performance by enabling a single virtual machine to use multiple physical processors simultaneously. Virtual SMP allows for virtualization of the most processor and resource-intensive enterprise applications and databases.
VMware VirtualCenter
VMware VirtualCenter delivers centralized management, operational automation, resource optimization and high availability to IT environments. These capabilities equip IT environments with unprecedented levels of serviceability, efficiency and reliability. VMware VirtualCenter exposes a rich set of programmatic Web service interfaces that enable integration with third-party system management products, as well as customized development. VMware VirtualCenter provides a central point of control for managing, monitoring, provisioning and migrating virtual machines.
VMware DRS
VMware DRS aligns available resources with pre-defined business priorities while streamlining labor and resource intensive operations. VMware DRS now also includes Distributed Power Management (DPM), which balances workloads to reduce power consumption in the datacenter.
VMware VMotion
VMware VMotion technology allows the live migration of virtual machines from one physical server to another for non-disruptive maintenance of IT environments.
VMware Storage VMotion
VMware Storage VMotion allows the live migration of virtual machine disks from one shared storage location to another with no disruption or downtime to application users.
VMware HA
VMware HA enables cost-effective application availability, independent of hardware and operating systems.
VMware® Update Manager
VMware Update Manager manages patches/updates for physical VMware ESX as well as guest operating systems, enforcing compliance and securing IT infrastructure.
VMware® Consolidated Backup
VMware Consolidated Backup provides an easy-to-use, centralized backup facility for virtual machines.
It enables virtual machine contents to be backed up from a centralized Microsoft® Windows® 2003 proxy server, rather than directly from VMware ESX.

1 These products require VirtualCenter Server (previously VirtualCenter Management Server).
2 VMware ESXi cannot be managed with VirtualCenter Server when purchased as a stand-alone product. Managing VMware ESXi with VirtualCenter Server requires purchase of VMware Infrastructure 3 Foundation, Standard, or Enterprise.
VirtualCenter Server is licensed and sold separately.
The following products are also available as separately licensed products:
• VMware VMotion and Storage VMotion
• VMware DRS (including DPM)
