VMware ESX Server 3 Download PDF  Datacenter-Class Virtual Infrastructure for Business-Critical Environments What Is VMware ESX Server? VMware ESX Server is virtual infrastructure software for partitioning, consolidating and managing systems in business-critical environments. ESX Server and VMware Virtual Infrastructure Nodes provide a highly scalable virtual machine platform with advanced resource management capabilities, which can be managed by VMware VirtualCenter. With VMware virtual infrastructure built on ESX Server you can:
- Rapidly deploy new virtual machines to any server as the business demands using hardware independent templates
- Streamline data center operations and reduce hardware requirements with server consolidation ratios commonly exceeding eight virtual machines per physical processor
- Perform zero-downtime maintenance on live systems without interrupting service
- Load balance workloads across a farm of servers using VMotion to respond to spikes in load and to increase server farm wide utilization, helping to maximize return on hardware investment
- Meet and address required service levels to applications and dynamically change the service resources
- Automate all activities using the VMware Virtual Infrastructure SDK
- Manage ESX Servers and their virtual machines remotely from any Web-accessible location using the management applications you already own or tools from VMware.
