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.

Virtual Infrastructure Management Software for the Responsive Enterprise

What Is VMware VirtualCenter?
VMware VirtualCenter is virtual infrastructure management software, designed to provide a central and secure point of control for your virtual computing resources.

VirtualCenter creates a more responsive data center, which can enable faster reconfiguration and reallocation of applications and services. It allows instant provisioning of servers. User-downtime can be decreased. The data center becomes optimized. VirtualCenter is a powerful way to connect IT to business needs.

With VirtualCenter, IT infrastructure becomes flexible, efficient and responsive. VirtualCenter uniquely utilizes virtual computing, storage and networking to improve data center management and help reduce cost.

VirtualCenter can reduce time, effort and complexity of data center management by letting you:
  • Monitor and control all your VMware servers and virtual machines from a single view or "dashboard"
  • Organize your VMware server hosts and virtual machines into logical units of farms and groups
  • Restrict access and delegate fine-grained permissions to administrators and users based on existing Windows authentication mechanisms
  • Create and configure virtual machines
  • Monitor and adjust virtual machine resource usage
  • Build template virtual machines to be used for rapid provisioning
  • Clone and customize virtual machines
  • Migrate running virtual machines between VMware server hosts with VMotion
  • Schedule tasks and set alarm triggers that generate automated notifications and alerts
  • Automate control of virtual machines with the VMware Software Developer's Kit (SDK)

VMotion and VMware Infrastructure 3 Enterprise Edition

Download PDF

VMware Infrastructure 3 includes VMotion technology that helps enable intelligent workload management. VMotion allows dynamic changes without impacting users, thus providing rapid reconfiguration and optimization of resources across the virtual infrastructure. VirtualCenter manages ESX Servers to provide a means to respond to data center needs. Including:

  • Migrating a running virtual machine to a different physical server connected to the same storage area network (SAN) without service interruption
  • Performing zero-downtime maintenance by moving virtual machines around so the underlying hardware and storage can be serviced without disrupting user sessions
  • Continuously balancing workloads across the data center to most effectively utilize resources in response to changing business demands

Scale your Virtual Infrastructure for Business -Critical Environments

What Is VMware Virtual SMP?
VMware Virtual SMP is an add-on module to VMware ESX Server (included in VI 3 Enterprise) that makes it possible for a single virtual machine to span multiple physical processors. VMware Virtual SMP allows up to 4 multiple processors to work in parallel while using only a single guest operating system image, making it ideal for scaling your virtual infrastructure to handle the most resource-intensive applications. VMware provides symmetric multiprocessing functionality for Intel and AMD based virtual machines.

Enterprise-Class Tool for Physical to Virtual Machine Migration

What Is VMware P2V Assistant?
VMware P2V Assistant is an enterprise-class migration tool that transforms an image of an existing physical system into a VMware virtual machine. This easy to use market proven tool enables fast and reliable physical to virtual machine migration for Microsoft®  Windows®  operating systems ranging from Windows NT 4 to Windows Server 2003. Having pioneered the automation of physical to virtual machines in 2002, VMware has now released a new version of P2V Assistant that builds on the experiences and feedback of more than 300 enterprise customers.

P2V Assistant performs all necessary substitutions to transform a physical system into a production-ready virtual machine, by guiding the administrator through an easy to use GUI wizard:
  • Creates an image of the source machine with built-in imaging or 3rd party imaging tool
  • Performs all necessary disk controller and driver substitutions so the virtual machine can be booted
  • Recommends additional configuration modifications to make the new virtual machine production ready

Why Does My Business Need VMware P2V Assistant?
Enterprise IT teams use VMware P2V Assistant to migrate and snapshot your existing systems into virtual machines for these reasons:
  • Simplicity -- Migrate your applications without having to rebuild your current system
  • Speed -- Get your systems up and running on the virtual machine platform in hours, not weeks
  • Safety - Help ensure that your entire configuration is migrated and no files are left behind
