VMware vSphere

VMware is the worlds leading virtualization platform with 63% of the industry running it.

vMotion

Live migration allows you to move an entire running virtual machine from one physical server to another, without downtime. This entire process takes less than two seconds on a gigabit Ethernet network.

Storage Motion

Enables live migration of virtual machine disk files within and across storage arrays without service disruptions. Non-disruptive moves to different classes of storage give you the ability to improve performance lower costs at any time.

High Availability

Provides uniform, cost-effective failover protection against hardware and operating system outages within your virtualized IT environment.

Data Protection

Traditional data backup are expensive, slow and complex. They write data to tape, which is difficult and time-consuming to restore. In contrast, VMware vSphere Data Protection (VDP) provides fast backup to disk with dependable recovery. Plus, it extends the backup capabilities for greater scalability and application-level integration for your mission-critical apps.

Fault Tolerance

Provides continuous availability for applications in the event of server failures by creating a live shadow instance of a virtual machine that is always up-to-date with the primary virtual machine. In the event of a hardware outage, vSphere FT automatically triggers failover—ensuring zero downtime and preventing data loss.

vShield Endpoint

VMware® vShield Endpoint™ lets you manage anti-virus and anti-malware policies for virtualized environments with the same management interfaces you use to secure physical infrastructure. vShield Endpoint strengthens virtualization security with enhanced endpoint protection by offloading AV processing to a secure virtual appliance supplied by VMware partners. vShield Endpoint:

• Improves consolidation ratios and performance by eliminating anti-virus “storms.”
• Automates anti-virus and anti-malware deployment and monitoring.
• Satisfies compliance and audit requirements with anti-virus and anti-malware activity logs.

vSphere Replication

VMware’s proprietary replication engine, copies only changed blocks to the recovery site. This approach lowers bandwidth utilization and enables more aggressive recovery point objectives (RPOs) than manual, full-system virtual machine replication.

Hot Add

Increases capacity by adding CPU, memory, or devices to virtual machines when needed, without disputation or downtime.
