ATSG's VMware® Solutions can benefit organizations of all sizes.
Introduction
In essence, virtualization lets you transform hardware into software and use software such as VMware ESX Server to transform or “virtualize” the hardware resources of an x86-based computer—including the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller—to create a fully functional virtual machine that can run its own operating system and applications just like a “real” computer.
Multiple virtual machines share hardware resources without interfering with each other so that you can safely run several operating systems and applications at the same time on a single computer.
However, virtualizing a single physical computer is just the beginning. VMware offers a robust virtualization platform that can scale across hundreds of interconnected physical computers and storage devices to form an entire virtual infrastructure.
Benefits
Virtualization technology helps simplify server operations
Virtualization allows you to run multiple applications and operating systems independently on a single server. Administrators can quickly move workloads from one virtual workspace to another - easily prioritizing business needs while maximizing server resources.
Flexibility in the allocation of computing capacity allows the consolidation of applications and servers - easing IT management requirements and expenses.
Virtualization delivers quantifiable results
In addition to operational efficiencies, our virtualization solutions can help you streamline test and development environments while providing an affordable business continuity strategy.
If your company is running multiple servers today, you can take advantage of these benefits of virtualization:
- Improve Utilization – Run multiple applications and operating systems independently on a single server. VMware’s infrastructure optimization solutions enable our customers to run multiple workloads on fewer servers, thereby reducing the need for additional physical servers.
- Simplify Operations – Quickly move virtual workspaces between physical server resources. Virtual machines act as the common failover point for multiple primary servers. VMware’s solution radically reduces the cost of implementing a clustered solution by spreading the cost of the secondary servers, running as virtual machines, across just one physical server.
- Implement High Availability – VMware has a solution for clustering and failover that is far more cost-effective and simple than conventional methods.
- Effectively Scale – Rapidly provision new servers to meet changing business opportunities. Since a new server is really a virtual machine inside an existing physical box, we can deploy new servers for new applications in minutes, instead of days.
- Manage Disaster Recovery – ATSG’s solutions provide business continuity solutions by using virtual machines with centralized storage.
