vSphere And vSphere With Operations Management

Containerized Modern Apps—bridge the gap between IT and developers with vSphere Integrated Containers. Leveraging the core capabilities of VMware vSphere™, your IT teams can run both traditional and containerized applications side by side on the same infrastructure without the need for additional tooling or training. VMware vSphere Integrated Containers™ provides critical enterprise container infrastructure to help IT Ops run both traditional and containerized applications side by side on a common platform. Migrate Legacy Unix™ to Virtual Linux™  — migrate IT legacy UNIX™ infrastructure to virtualized Linux™. Get high performance, enhanced availability, larger VM capability and disaster recovery capabilities. VMware vSphere vMotion™ allows you to move an entire running virtual machine from one physical server to another, without downtime. The virtual machine retains its network identity and connections, ensuring a seamless migration process. Transfer the virtual machine’s active memory and precise execution state over a high—speed network, allowing the virtual machine to switch from running on the source VMware vSphere™ host to the destination vSphere host.

VMware vSphere High Availability

Minimize downtime with uniform, cost—effective failover protection against hardware and operating system outages within your virtualized environment with VMware vSphere High Availability™ (HA). Monitor hosts and virtual machines and automatically restart virtual machines on other hosts in the cluster when an outage is detected. Virtualization is a proven software technology that makes it possible to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same server at the same time. Virtualization can increase IT agility, flexibility, and scalability while creating significant cost savings. Workloads get deployed faster, performance and availability increases and operations become automated, resulting in IT that’s simpler to manage and less costly to own and operate. Support remote offices and branch offices. Manage your remote offices and branch offices with little or no local IT staff. Enable rapid provisioning of servers through virtualization, minimization of host configuration drift and enhanced visibility into regulatory compliance, across multiple sites. Many organizations have remote offices and branch offices (ROBO) with a few servers running a few workloads. Simplify your big data infrastructure management while making it more cost—effective.
