n computing, virtualization is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources. One useful definition is "a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way in which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those resources. This includes making a single physical resource (such as a server, an operating system, an application, or storage device) appear to function as multiple logical resources; or it can include making multiple physical resources (such as storage devices or servers) appear as a single   logical resource.  (From Wikipedia)

About VMware
Virtualization is an abstraction layer that allows multiple virtual machines, with heterogeneous operating systems to run in isolation, side-by-side on the same physical machine. By decoupling the physical hardware from the operating system, virtualization allows you to:

  • Run multiple virtual machines with heterogeneous operating systems at the same time on the same physical machine
  • Create fully configured isolated virtual machines with it's own set of virtual hardware to run an operating system and applications
  • Rapidly save, copy and provision virtual machines that can be moved from one physical server to another for workload consolidation and zero downtime maintenance

VMware solutions simplify IT so companies can leverage their storage, network, and computing resources to control costs and respond faster.

VMware for Server Consolidation
Today's IT organizations face the costly management of server sprawl. This includes the hardware, maintenance and people resources needed to manage, operate and administer those servers on a daily basis. VMware server consolidation and containment solutions allow enterprises to enable workload isolation and granular resource control for all of the system's computing and I/O resources.

Using virtual infrastructure to consolidate physical systems in the data center, enterprises experience:

  • Lower total cost of ownership of servers
  • Higher server utilization
  • Increased operational efficiency

VMware for Test and Development
Today’s business drives IT for increasingly higher quality enterprise applications faster than ever before. CIO's face the pressure of delivering business critical technology while managing costs to make IT operations more efficient. This becomes even more difficult with increasing complex technical multi-tier architecture to manage running various operating systems, browsers and firewalls.

Create archived libraries of virtual machines, use virtual network segments or virtual switches to network virtual machines together for more efficient and lower cost software development and testing. VMware solutions allow enterprises to deliver high-quality applications faster and at lower costs by using our virtualization platform for development and testing by:

  • Consolidate servers and desktops used in test and development
  • Copy exact multi-module production environment into virtual machines for testing
  • Share complete environments among different teams
  • Eliminate repetitive configuration tasks from development and testing cycles
  • Simulate complex multi-tier applications on a single physical platform

VMware for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
VMware business continuity and disaster recovery solutions support enterprises in their strategy for maximum uptime of business critical systems. Data centers worldwide need to manage both their planned and unplanned downtime.  Whether you are scheduling standard maintenance or responding the external failures, VMware allows you to maximize your revenue earning uptime.
 

VMware infrastructure makes traditional clustering, failover and recovery plans more robust. VMware infrastructure increases the flexibility of servers and decreases the time and costs associated with implementing and managing these servers.

IT Managers implementing virtual infrastructure for business continuity can realize:

  • Faster, more flexible, and more reliable disaster recovery at a lower cost
  • Significant reductions in planned and unplanned downtime
  • Simplified and repeatable processes for implementing business continuity solutions

VMware for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
VMware desktop manageability and security solutions allow security administrators to lock down PC endpoints and protect company resources against the risks presented by unmanaged PCs. Business today operates onsite, offsite and offshore by a variety of employees who range from permanent staff to contractors.

VMware solutions leverage proven virtualization technology to enable a level of desktop manageability and security that would be impossible with traditional desktop environments running on dedicated physical PCs.

Using virtual machines allows IT security administrators to easily:

  • Provision secured, IT-managed endpoints on unmanaged PCs
  • Secure confidential data on endpoint PCs
  • Run multiple secure PC environments on a single PC
