IT organizations are still grappling with the legacy of the IT explosion of the 1990s, which left many of them with high costs, slow response times, and an inconsistently managed infrastructure. Today, IT organizations that want to give their enterprise a sustainable competitive advantage need to:

  • Reduce infrastructure costs through more efficient use of resources.
  • Respond faster to business needs so projects get deployed more rapidly.
  • Increase the consistency and predictability of operations.

This paper will clarify how adopting VMware infrastructure - the combination of server, storage and networking virtualization technologies - as a fundamental IT strategy helps organizations to achieve these goals.

VMware Infrastructure allows IT teams to continuously consolidate workloads to maximize server utilization and decrease operational costs. It allows system administrators to manage a higher number of servers, and it delivers more flexibility and responsiveness in provisioning new software services and maintaining existing ones.

Most importantly, it standardizes and simplifies the management of diverse x86-based environments across Microsoft Windows®, Linux, Sun Solaris x86 and Novell NetWare® operating systems.
