Virtualization Services
Server virtualization improves the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications. It frees IT, administrators, from repetitive server management tasks, allowing them to drive business-building innovation. Given the significant cost savings from reduced hardware requirements and improved server efficiency, the server virtualization market has expanded quickly, and multiple virtualization platforms are available. However, the differences between vendor platforms are considerable. VMware delivers a secure and reliable platform that enables IT to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for the most resource-intensive, business-critical applications, at the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
As more and more workloads are virtualized, it becomes critically important that the virtualization layer is both reliable and secure. VMware has pioneered and perfected a hypervisor architecture and management platform that is unique in this space. The purpose-built vSphere hypervisor provides a radically different approach to virtualization—one that has led VMware vSphere to be recognized as the industry’s most robust and production-proven hypervisor.
VMware vSphere is the base component that manages the virtualized infrastructure. VMware vSphere storage resources are organized and separated into the Production, Validation, Training, and Infrastructure Datastore clusters. This allows the physical separation of storage resources for each environment.
ValueData can help implement VMware vSphere server virtualization platform, vSphere, ESXi, and vCenter, configuring vSphere Update Manager, vSAN, vSphere Replication and Site Recovery Manager, vROPS, P2V, and V2V.
