A Virtual Data Centre Infrastructure addresses the need for flexibility, speed, resiliency and efficiency by transforming the data centre into an "internal cloud" - an elastic, shared, self-managing and self-healing utility that can federate with external clouds of computing capacity freeing IT from the constraints of static hardware-mapped applications. The virtual data centre OS guarantees appropriate levels of availability, security and scalability to all applications independent of hardware and location.
VMware vSphere is the next evolutionary step in IT computing; enabling customers to bring the power of cloud computing to their IT infrastructures. Building on the power of VMware® Infrastructure, VMware vSphere dramatically reduces capital and operating costs, and increases control over IT infrastructures.
Organisations of all sizes can achieve the full benefits of cloud computing, delivering the highest levels of application service agreements with the lowest total cost per application workload.
The combination of server technologies from Sun and virtual infrastructure software from VMware can disrupt the status quo in IT environments and provide organisations with a new set of choices that can increase flexibility, reduce cost, and attack space, power, and cooling issues head-on. This powerful combination of technologies can be used to re-host legacy applications while providing a standard platform for all future application deployments.
No two companies provide more complete, mature, and proven virtualisation solutions than Sun and VMware. More than 120,000 customers worldwide use VMware Infrastructure software to help maximise the manageability, flexibility, and efficiency of their datacenter. And Sun’s vision of a virtual datacenter is redefining how IT services are designed, deployed, and managed in mission-critical environments. Together, Sun and VMware offer a virtual datacenter solution that works in the real world.
