VMware Infrastructure 3
Transform IT Infrastructure with Enterprise-Class Virtualization

Start creating a self-optimizing IT infrastructure today with the most widely deployed software suite for optimizing and managing industry-standard IT environments through virtualization. VMware Infrastructure 3 is the next generation of industry-leading infrastructure virtualization software that virtualizes servers, storage and networking, allowing multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run independently in virtual machines while sharing physical resources. The suite delivers comprehensive virtualization, management, resource optimization, application availability and operational automation capabilities.

	Increase hardware utilization and reduce hardware requirements with server consolidation ratios commonly exceeding ten virtual machines per physical processor.
	Reduce required datacenter square footage, rack space, power, cooling, cabling, storage and network components by reducing the sheer number of physical machines.
	Decrease labor cost by simplifying and automating labor and resource intensive IT operations.

VMware ESX Server
Build the Foundation of a Responsive Data Center

Create the foundation for building a dynamic, self-optimizing data center with VMware ESX Server. ESX Server abstracts processor, memory, storage and networking resources into multiple virtual machines, giving you greater hardware utilization and flexibility. Production-proven at thousands of customers of all sizes, ESX Server delivers the highest levels of performance, scalability and flexibility.

	ESX Server installs on the “bare metal” and allows multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run in virtual machines that share physical resources.
	Each virtual machine represents a complete system, with processors, memory, networking, storage and BIOS.
	Advanced resource allocation policies for virtual machines allow you to guarantee resources to even your most resource-intensive applications.
