Below are some areas Virtualization can help your business needs.

Organizations rely on their computing infrastructure to provide a broad array of services. To meet the demand to deploy, maintain, and grow these services, IT organizations must continually add new servers to increase computing capacity. However, as a consequence of purchasing more and more servers, organizations face a growing server sprawl presenting challenges that include:

• Rising costs
• Poor return on investment
• Decreasing manageability
• Reduced efficiency

Server consolidation and containment with VMware software provides a solution for these problems. Virtual infrastructure enables workload isolation and granular resource control for all of the system's computing and I/O resources. By consolidating physical systems in the data center onto servers with VMware virtual infrastructure, enterprises experience:

• Lower total cost of ownership of servers
• Higher server utilization
• Increased operational efficiency
• Improved manageability

Can your business afford any disruption of IT services? Thousands of data centers experience significant services interruptions every year, at the cost of lost business revenue and lost data—or worse. And while disasters and unplanned downtime get the big headlines, planned downtime for hardware maintenance and backups is the cause of the majority of service downtime.

Business continuity has become a vital ingredient of IT strategies in a world where businesses need to operate 24 hours a day. The disruption of IT services can be fatal to a business.  VMware’s virtualization products give you the means to eliminate planned downtime, deliver high availability, and be better prepared for disaster recovery. Virtualize your data center and make it easier to build solutions for the following:

• Data protection, including non-disruptive backup and restore processes
• High availability through reduced planned and unplanned downtime
• Disaster recovery with hardware independent recovery
