Dynamically Allocate System Resources

Align your IT infrastructure with your business goals by dynamically allocating and balancing computing resources with VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). VMware DRS continuously monitors utilization across resource pools and intelligently allocates available resources among the virtual machines based on pre-defined rules that reflect business needs and changing priorities. When virtual machine resources are constrained, additional capacity is made available by migrating live virtual machines to a different physical server using VMware VMotion.

How to Buy VMware Infrastructure 3

The rich capabilities of VMware Infrastructure 3 are packaged into three editions to fit the needs and budget of any organization: Foundation, Standard and Enterprise. Each edition includes a hypervisor as well as a set of management capabilities. Customers can choose to deploy either VMware ESX or VMware ESXi. VMware Infrastructure 3 is available in English, German, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.

VMware VirtualCenter provides centralized management for VMware Infrastructure so you can manage and administer your entire virtual environment from a single console. Although a VMware VirtualCenter agent is included in every VMware Infrastructure license, one instance of the VirtualCenter Management server is required to enable the central management capabilities of VMware Infrastructure.
