Servers used for running IT infrastructure applications
are typically utilised less than 10%. This is the result of
the common best practice of running each application on a
dedicated server.
Servers are used in this manner to avoid the compatibility,
security, and manageability challenges when running multiple
applications on each server.
As a result, data centers face an increasing sprawl of underutilised
servers that must be provisioned, maintained, and monitored.
VMware virtual infrastructure software provides a solution
for consolidating underutilised infrastructure servers and
controlling server sprawl. VMware software enables multiple
virtual machines to run independently and simultaneously on
the same hardware. By reliably consolidating applications
on fewer servers, costs are dramatically reduced, flexibility
increases, and IT responsiveness improves.
VMware virtualisation software makes it possible to replace
many physical servers.
