VMware, the leader in virtualisation and cloud infrastructure, delivers disruptive solutions that are changing the way IT is managed. With more than 500,000 customers worldwide, VMware technologies provide versatile applications that go beyond business-as-usual, driving innovation and operational excellence. Below, we take a look at just how useful VMware is.
Server сonsolidation and сost reduction
“Alpha Finance” addressed server underutilization by reducing their server count from 30 to 5 using VMware, achieving an 83% reduction in physical footprint. This transition led to a 70% decrease in server-related energy costs, amounting to annual savings of $120,000. Additionally, the move improved server utilization from 15% to 60%, significantly enhancing their IT infrastructure’s efficiency.
Development and testing environments
“Beta Software Inc.” transformed their software deployment cycle with VMware, creating isolated VMs that reduced deployment times from weeks to an average of 3 days. This approach also resulted in a 30% decrease in software defects, attributed to the controlled and replicable testing environments.
Disaster recovery and business continuity
“Gamma Retail” revolutionized their disaster recovery approach with VMware’s Site Recovery Manager, reducing their RPO from 24 hours to 15 minutes and RTO from 8 hours to one hour. In an incident, this capability enabled them to maintain 99.99% availability, crucial for their online retail operations.
Simplified data center management
A federal agency managed 200+ VMs across multiple data centers using VMware’s vRealize Operations, reducing routine management time by 40% and enhancing application performance by 25%. The predictive analytics feature preempted 50 potential disruptions over a year, enhancing overall system reliability.
Desktop virtualization for remote workforces
“Delta Consulting” faced the challenge of managing a global workforce. VMware Horizon enabled them to reduce new employee setup time from days to under 4 hours. During a rapid shift to remote work, this strategy was instrumental in maintaining a 95% productivity rate among remote employees.
Application and legacy system isolation
“Epsilon Healthcare” integrated legacy systems with new software using VMware, extending the legacy systems’ lifespan by 5 years and avoiding $2 million in potential upgrade costs. This move ensured 100% uptime of critical patient management systems during a period of significant IT infrastructure transition.
Expanding VMware’s reach: Cloud and edge computing
VMware Cloud on AWS exemplifies VMware’s expansion into hybrid cloud environments, offering seamless integration that allows businesses to extend their on-premises VMware environment. This capability has seen a 35% year-over-year growth in user adoption, indicating its increasing relevance in cloud strategies.
In edge computing, VMware enables real-time data processing at the network edge, crucial in sectors like manufacturing, where it reduces data processing time by up to 40%. This capability is increasingly important, with edge computing expected to grow to a $6.72 billion market by 2022.
Conclusion: VMware as a catalyst for IT innovation
VMware’s role extends beyond traditional IT, acting as a catalyst for innovation in modern infrastructures. Its impact is evident across industries, from reducing operational costs to driving advancements in cloud and edge computing, making VMware an invaluable tool in the technology-driven business landscape.
