Addleshaw Goddard Outlaws Data Center Inefficiencies with VMware Software
"We first implemented VMware ESX Server to avoid the high costs of purchasing multiple servers and our use has grown organically ever since. VMware is now part of every major IT rollout and we actually treat ESX Server as if it were hardware. VMware software is a critical building block of our infrastructure that has introduced an unprecedented level of flexibility by making our applications portable."

Using VMware Infrastructure Halved the Number of Physical Servers Required, While Speeding Up the Deployment of New Services to the Business
“We have significantly reduced the amount of space taken up by our IT systems, as well as cutting the sheer volume of power and cooling that was required to support our business. Using VMware Infrastructure 3, we can provision new virtual machines in minutes and react faster to business demands. The virtual approach means that we are far more agile as an organization.”
Agricultural Bank of China, Guizhou Branch
VMware's ESX Server Helped The Guizhou Branch Of Agricultural Bank Of China To Centralize Management And Provision Their Application Servers Without Increasing Capital Costs. Maintenance Of And Upgrades For The Front-Counter Systems Have Been Handed Over From Local Branches To The Guizhou Province Branch. The Results Are Improved Server Applications Integration And Increased Server Utilization, Reduced The Number Of Technical Supporting Staff, Saved Data Center Space, And Improved Customer Satisfaction.
"VMware's virtualization technology has enabled us to centralize the upgrading and maintenance of our front-counter systems from local branches to the province headquarters as well as consolidate our servers and significantly streamline management tasks. The result is quick system upgrades and maintenance, reduced data center space and substantial power and cooling cost reduction, all of which have helped us achieve our goals."

VMware Infrastructure Enables The Fast Development Of A Dependable, Secure And Cost-Effective Infrastructure For BlackBerry Enterprise Server
“Our CEO wanted a robust BlackBerry Enterprise environment up and running within three months. We did it with VMware. It is in service around the clock and is never allowed to stop. Normally you’d call that ‘7 days and 24 hours availability,’ but with an application of this importance, we say ‘8 days and 25 hours.’ BES runs transparently on VMware virtual machines, with the same functionality and configuration as on physical servers. Actually, it’s even better than running BES on physical servers, because we have automatic high availability: if something goes wrong with one host, the VMs running on it automatically restart on other hosts in about a minute. We have very few support issues with our applications running on VMware–and I can’t remember any with BES. Plus, there have been no performance issues at all. In fact, a message generally gets to your BlackBerry before it arrives in Lotus Notes.”

Aspen Solves IT Challenges with VMware Infrastructure 3
“Before we implemented VMware Infrastructure 3, we were spending unnecessary resources trying to manage our data center, which had become unsustainable from an operational standpoint. Virtualization allows us to experience direct business benefits through the ability to consolidate and centrally manage our servers, in addition to ensuring constant connection to applications and quick recovery of data in the event of an interruption to service. With VMware Infrastructure 3, we are able to achieve all of these capabilities with very simple administration and low overheads.”

Association of Teachers and Lecturers Learns Value of VMware Virtual Infrastructure
"With VMware virtual infrastructure, provisioning new services and changing existing resources dedicated to our software services is extremely manageable. We’ve also been able to increase the continuity of services dramatically by allowing our software to be independent from physical hardware, avoiding the constant developing, updating and testing of expensive disaster recovery plans."
AstraZeneca
VMware Infrastructure Used to Consolidate Development and Test Environments and Provide an Efficient, Highly Available Infrastructure For Astrazeneca’s SAP Applications, From Development To Production
“VMware Infrastructure is proving to have a lot of benefits for us. For example, we are already using VMotion to achieve high availability and 24/7 uptime. Because we can use templates for the virtual machines, documentation is easier and server certification can be done in less time. We are confident that the production virtual machines will give us at least the same performance as the old physical machines did – perhaps better. And we’re exploring the ways virtualization can help us provide better service levels with Consolidated Backup and quicker restarts.”
