Only VMware …

is the world‟s most trusted virtualization platform

virtualizes the entire fabric of the datacenter,

VMware vSphere™ 4

Overview

22

Virtualization Overview

Virtualization

• Hypervisor abstracts traditional physical machine resources and runs

workloads as virtual machines (VMs)

• Each VM runs guest OS and applications

23

Virtualization Overview

Hypervisor

• Partitions computing resources of a server

for multiple VMs

• Hypervisors alone lack coordination for

higher availability and efficiency

VMware vSphere

• VMware vSphere goes beyond basic host

partitioning by aggregating infrastructure

resources into a giant virtual computer

• Serves as a dynamic OS for a private

internal cloud in your datacenter

24

Key Benefits of VMware vSphere

Efficiency

• Highest utilization of resources

Control

• Automated quality of service

Choice

• Hardware independence

• Wide selection of guest OS support
