The Foundation of Virtualization
SOLUTION BRIEF
With VMware vSphere 5.0 and the Intel Xeon
processor E7 amily, IT organizations can extend
the benets o virtualization, high-density
consolidation, and dynamic workload manage-
ment across all their applications to achieve data
center eciencies that have never beore been
possible using aordable, industry-standard
servers. This industry-leading virtualization plat-orm provides:
• Dramatically higher consolidation ratios
to
drive down data center space, power, and cool-
ing requirements, reduce related maintenance
costs, and improve the utilization o network andstorage ports.
• Near-native application performance
in a virtual
environment, with the scalability to supportdemanding enterprise applications, includinglarge databases and high-volume transactional
and productivity applications.
