EDS

EDS Turns to VMware Server Virtualization to Support Australian Customers

“The increasing maturity of virtualization and the growing support from independent software vendors is helping fuel deployment of VMware virtualization across production environments. This means more businesses are redeploying or disposing of inefficient hardware and consolidating their data center infrastructure onto multiple virtual server environments, thus contributing to a reduction in power consumption.”

— David , Asia-Pacific ITO Product Marketing Manager

EFI

EFI Used VMware Infrastructure 3 To Minimize the Complexity and Reduce the Cost of Developing, Testing, and Deploying This Multi-tiered Environment

“In any large multi-tier application deployment, you have to use resources such as consultants whose costs can add up if they have to wait for test and development systems to be set up. With VMware Infrastructure, we can add another compute block to the cluster or whip up new virtual machines quickly. As a result our developers have the resources they need, when they need them, and we’ve really mitigated ‘budget creep.’ That flexibility has to do with the functionality and responsiveness of VMware products, which enables us to serve our customer better and ultimately to save my company money.”

— Dave Swan , Senior Manager

VMware Infrastructure 3 for 5:1 Server Consolidation and High Availability of Critical Servers

“Virtualization has allowed WWF to simply manage our IT infrastructure and create an effective disaster recovery practice. After experiencing these benefits in our UK office, my IT team has been urging all of our other offices to ‘go virtual.’ Our aim is for the entire global operation of WWF to run on VMware and dramatically reduce our carbon footprint through virtualization.”

— Ian Exton , Network Manager

Wyse Technology

By Moving to VMware Virtual Infrastructure, Wyse Technology Was Able to Improve Productivity and Performance Without Incurring the Cost of Expensive new Hardware

“VMware Infrastructure 3 reduced the frequency of outages for core infrastructure services by 100 percent, saving 416 man hours per year in unplanned maintenance. VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMware High Availability (HA) are fully automated and performing flawlessly. VMware HA is really a simpler and cost-effective alternative to complex, traditional clustering technologies.”
