Are you running legacy servers on retiring hardware? The VMware product ESX Server abstracts processor, memory, storage and networking resources into multiple virtual machines, giving you greater hardware utilization and flexibility.
ESX Server installs on the "bare metal" and allows multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run in virtual machines that share physical resources.
Each virtual machine represents a complete system, with processors, memory, networking, storage and BIOS.
Advanced resource allocation policies for virtual machines allow you to guarantee resources to even your most resource-intensive applications.
Other Key Benefits include:
- Realize production server consolidation and containment by running software applications on fewer servers.
- Provide advanced business continuity protection at lower cost and deliver high availability for critical applications.
- Streamline software test and development by consolidating disparate development, testing, and staging environments with multiple operating systems on the same hardware.
- Re-host legacy applications on new hardware for improved reliability.
- VirtualCenter lets you rapidly provision virtual machines and monitor performance of physical servers and virtual machines. VirtualCenter intelligently optimises resources and ensures high availability to all applications in virtual machines.
