Application architectures are rapidly evolving towards highly distributed, loosely coupled applications. Multitier applications, now the norm, will become more even important with the move to SOA, Web 2.0 applications and other emerging application frameworks.
The conventional x86 computing model, with applications tightly coupled to physical servers, is too static and fragmented to efficiently support these complex and dynamic applications. In fact, in these environments more than 70% of IT budgets are used just to manage existing applications and IT services. Less than 30% is allocated to innovation and competitive advantage.
Run your business-critical applications, including Exchange, SQL, SAP, and Oracle, with breakthrough performancex and outstanding reliability through Virtualization Software. Consolidate all your x86 servers and minimize infrastructure costs while building a flexible cloud computing infrastructure delivering business-critical applications as dynamic, cost-efficient, and reliable IT services. Accelerate application delivery with on-demand provisioning, automated release cycles and streamlined testing and troubleshooting.
Virtualize Exchange and match or exceed native performance while reducing infrastructure footprint.
SharePoint Server is more scalable, available and flexible on a virtual infrastructure with reduced hardware requirements.
Consolidate SQL Server databases and cut hardware and software costs by more than 50%.
Virtualize Oracle applications, middleware and databases and leverage storage, network and computing resources.
Run SAP on Virtualization Software and dynamically rebalance applications as needed.
