How can vSphere transform your Business IT?

Vmware vSphere is the industry’s leading and most reliable virtualisation platform. vSphere separates applications and operating systems from the underlying hardware, so that your existing applications see dedicated resources, while your servers can be managed as a pool of resources. The end result is a business that runs on a simpler, more resilient IT environment.

vSphere Key Benefits include:

·         Business Continuity and always-available IT

·         Reduced IT footprint and simplified management

·         Drastically cuts hardware and datacenter running costs

·         Improved service levels and application quality

·         Strengthened security and data protection

vSphere is made up of numerous key components, including:

Vmware ESXi hypervisor architecture – a high performance virtualisation layer, enabling multiple virtual machines to share hardware resources, while maintaining high performance levels.

VMware vCenter Server – providing centralised management and performance monitoring for all virtual machines and vSphere hosts.

VMware vSphere VMFS – a key technology, allowing virtual machines to access shared storage devices and enabling other vSphere components, such as VMware vSphere Storage vMotion.

VMware vSphere Thin Provisioning – enables implementation of a tiered storage strategy and reduce storage spending by up to 50 percent.

VMware vCenter Update Manager – allowing for automated tracking, patching and updating of vSphere hosts, as well as applications and operating systems running in VMware virtual machines.

VMware VMsafe APIs – provides higher levels of security by enabling the use of security products that work in conjunction with the virtualisation layer.

vSphere High Availability – in the event of hardware or operating system failures, vSphere high availability provides cost-effective, automated restart for all applications, within minutes.

vSphere vMotion – eliminates the need to schedule application downtime for server maintenance, as vMotion enables live migration of virtual machines across servers with no disruption or service loss to users.

vSphere Data Protection – enables agent-less backups with built-in deduplication, to provide simple, cost-effective backup and recovery for virtual machines.

vSphere Endpoint – an agent-less antivirus and antimalware protection to keep all your virtual machines secure.

Why vSphere?

With vSphere your business can leverage a comprehensive and cost-effective virtualisation solution to protect your business, reduce your IT footprint and dramatically reduce your IT costs.
