EDS
"...the hardware...is used more effectively, with average CPU utilization boosted from under 10 percent to above 40 percent currently. The reduced rack space required...enables EDS to rationalize datacenter space, consolidating the area required to meet customer needs."
Start with Server Consolidation
![]() |
Start by pooling resources with server consolidation, reducing your hardware needs by a 10:1 ratio. Less hardware means you can lower hardware and operating costs by up to 50% and energy costs by 80%. On average, customers save $3,000 per year for every virtualized server workload.
In addition to consolidating servers and using less hardware, virtualization also lets you accelerate provisioning time by 50-70% and gain centralized and automated management. You can monitor performance and deliver peak levels of performance and availability while saving money.

Hewlett-Packard
"The VMware implementation eliminates a large amount of costs for hardware contracts and ups the utilization of the servers; so HP ends up getting a better bang for the buck."
Manage Servers More Efficiently
Rein in server sprawl as you manage and monitor virtual machines with different operating systems, including Windows, Linux and Netware, on a single virtualization platform. Analyze and monitor resource pools, server utilization and availability.
Easily enforce corporate security and licensing policies and keep anti-virus and other critical software up to date more easily with virtualization.

IBM
“VMware technology greatly simplifies server management, especially the way we can administer servers through Virtual Center."
Eliminate Planned and Unplanned Downtime
Virtualize servers, desktops and applications to ensure data protection, deliver high availability and meet your disaster recovery goals. Eliminate planned downtime and minimize unplanned downtime through virtualization.
Protect your data with non-disruptive backups, maintain high availability with live migration and fault tolerance capabilities for virtual machines and build rapid and reliable automated disaster recovery plans without the cost of duplicating your datacenter infrastructure and the complexity of manual recovery.

City of Pittsburgh
“If we had tried to create a similarly comprehensive disaster recovery strategy using physical servers, the price would’ve been astronomical... And it would have been nowhere near as simple or functional as the VMware solution.”
