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.

By virtualizing your company's infrastructure, IT admins can also create trust zones around information, applications and endpoints that can be adapted to follow workloads through the cloud. Automated policies can then assess risk and immediately initiate remediation with security problems arise. In short, virtualization enables your organization to have greater control and better visibility into their infrastructure, simplifying security management for the cloud.

Most Trusted Virtualization Platform ? VMware vSphere® with Operations Management forms the rock-solid platform on which all other solutions are built

• Best Platform for Business-Critical Applications ? Applications that are fundamental to a business require maximum availability and the highest service levels. vSphere with Operations Management provides a fully resilient, scalable, secure, and performance-rich environment to support the most important business-critical applications
