Editor's Notes
- #3: In today’s technology-driven global marketplace, a business can only be as effective as its IT infrastructure. Put simply, business agility depends on IT agility.
- #4: Yet, studies have shown that 70% or more of IT resources are spent maintaining the status quo, leaving less than 30% for new innovation and business requirements.
- #5: Caught between shrinking resources and growing business needs, organizations are looking to cloud computing…
- #6: …to deliver IT as s Service, a more efficient, flexible and cost-effective model for IT.
- #7: Whether your cloud is private, public or a combination, it must be built on an intelligent virtual infrastructure.
- #8: Virtualization frees applications, middleware and operating systems from underlying physical hardware, dramatically improving hardware and software license utilization and operational efficiency.
- #9: The proven platform for virtualization is VMware vSphere. More than 85% of the installed virtual machines in enterprises are VMware-based.
- #10: Using vSphere, companies have achieved better availability and greater agility, saving up to 80% in datacenter energy costs and reducing capital expenditures between 50 and 60%.
- #11: But virtualizing infrastructure and basic workloads, like file and print management, are only the first steps towards cloud computing. Your organization won’t be able to deliver IT as a Serviceuntil it virtualizes its business-critical applications, such as Oracle, Exchange, SQL, SAP, or custom Java.According to a recent IDG study with CIOs, 96% of all respondents view the virtualization of business critical applications as a foundation for enabling cloud computing.
- #12: Many companies have already made this transition. A recent VMware Virtualization Benchmark Study revealed that 43% of organizations have successfully virtualized Tier 1 business critical applications. And those numbers are increasing, as more and more companies run their Oracle, email, and SQL applications on VMware.
- #13: Companies who have virtualized their apps have seen significant improvements, specifically over 60% improvement in BCDR, security/compliance, and test/dev cycles.
- #14: All the top Independent Software Vendors provide support for their apps running on VMware. More than 95% of Tier 1 apps matched or even exceeded native performance on VMware.And , in the IDG Research report already cited, 98% of responding CIOs saw positive or no impact to app performance and ISV support across all applications (Oracle, MS, SAP, Java).
- #15: The benefits gained from virtualizing business-critical applications are essential to staying competitive in today’s global marketplace.
- #16: Legacy ERP systems, email, databases, and other applications frequently consume large pools of servers that span not just production but test, development and training.
- #17: Virtualizing these types of applications allows IT to run legacy apps on the latest hardware and OS without migrating or re-writing.
- #18: IT can also automate resource optimization and eliminate the need to provision dedicated testing, staging, training, and data recovery servers.
- #19: And virtualization cuts infrastructure and software license costs. Using VMware, IT can achieve 5 times to 10 times server consolidation for large applications and increase utilization of software licenses.
- #20: VMware automatically ensures application availability, performance, and security at the lowest possible cost.
- #21: IT can respond to changing demands by scaling up on-the-fly or scaling-out in minutes, as needed.
- #22: And VMware provides built-in high availability and automated disaster recovery to ensure availability without the complexity of app-specific clustering.
- #23: Virtualization accelerates the delivery of your applications from weeks to minutes with on-demand self-service provisioning, automated release cycles, and streamlined testing and troubleshooting.
- #24: It enables IT to extend a flexible cloud-ready infrastructure that can deliver legacy applications as dynamic, cost-efficient, and reliable IT services.
- #26: Improve your business agility. Let VMware help you virtualize your business-critical applications and enable an intelligent virtual infrastructure. Take the next step to Your Cloud.
