VMWare® vSphere™
VMware Server provides a stable, easy-to-use hosted virtualization platform that supports a broad range of operating systems and hardware. It can provide a portable, virtual copy of your primary server to maintain business continuity if the server ever crashes. It offers a web-based management interface to provide a consistent experience for Windows and Linux users, and machine consoles can be accessed remotely independent of the interface. VMware Server uses its virtualization capabilities in the latest hardware to deliver higher performance and lets you:
- Provision additional servers in minutes without investing in new hardware.
- Run multiple operating systems on the same physical server.
- Move virtual machines from one physical server to another without re-configuration.
- Easily evaluate software in ready-to-run virtual machines without installation and configuration.
- Simplify IT testing of patches, new applications and operating systems by allowing systems’ administrators to test in a secure virtual machine environment and be able to roll back to a clean restore.
- Utilize enterprise-class product support.
You can easily move virtual machines to VMware vSphere4. Multiple virtual machines can be run simultaneously on a single server, and if one virtual machine crashes, all others are left untouched.
VMware Server makes it easy to back-up, move or copy files. It optimizes power consumption and allows dynamic allocation of storage, based on need. You’re also protected with a second VM that mirrors a primary one in lockstep providing continued operation if the first VM or its hardware fails.
VMware is available for companies of all sizes at varying costs, and the experts at Entec will be happy to explain the many benefits of VMWare vSphere.
