Q: Which Vendor Meets All Your Requirements for a Complete, Robust, Proven Virtual Infrastructure?
A: Only VMware.
Now that you understand the value of a virtual infrastructure for your organization, it is time to look at how to choose a virtualization solution. It is important to choose your virtualization platform carefully to ensure that you 1) Realize all the promised benefits of virtualization and 2) Maximize your return-on-investment. A large number of providers now claim to be able to offer virtualization solutions, but in actuality, only offer a hypervisor. How do you cut through the noise and determine who can actually deliver a complete shared services delivery platform versus just a hypervisor? Are all virtualization offerings basically the same? Should you just choose based on upfront software license costs? As virtualization will quickly become an essential component of your overall IT strategy, answers to these questions are critical to ensure that you get a virtualization solution that can fully support you now and in the future, as your IT requirements evolve.
So, given that context, what is most important when picking between vendors?
From working with analysts, customers, and partners, it is apparent that companies need a solution that meets ALL of the following requirements:
- Is built on a robust, proven foundation
- Delivers a platform for shared IT services
- Provides a complete solution for virtualization management
- Supports your entire IT infrastructure
- Is proven across tens of thousands of customer deployments.
As you’ll see, it quickly becomes clear that only VMware delivers on all of these important requirements. And best of all, VMware delivers while providing low total-cost-of-ownership (TCO).
Read on to see how VMware delivers on all the above customer requirements, while offerings from other vendors fall short.
