VMware recently unveiled vSphere 4—the next generation of the VMware Infrastructure 3 platform and the industry’s first cloud operating system which uses the power of virtualization to transform data centers into dramatically simplified cloud computing infrastructures. vSphere 4 enables IT organizations to deliver the next generation of flexible and reliable IT services, using internal and external resources, securely and with low risk.

Dramatically reduces capital expenses per application by 50% and operating expenses by more than 60%

VMware vSphere helps organizations deliver IT services more efficiently by eliminating unnecessary investments and reducing the cost and complexity of managing and maintaining IT infrastructure. By adopting VMware vSphere, organizations can achieve a 50 percent reduction in capital expenses and a reduction of more than 60 percent in operational expenses per application, dramatically lowering the total cost of owning and operating enterprise applications.

Organizations that use VMware vSphere can achieve consolidation ratios of well over 15:1, with automated management and dynamic allocation of resources to applications across internal and external cloud infrastructures. The result is a clean break from the expensive model of application and information delivery that is tied to specific systems and architectures, and a seamless move to a self-managed, dynamically optimized IT environment for the most efficient delivery of business services.

Increases control over delivery of IT services with built-in, automated availability, security and scalability

As businesses have become increasingly reliant on IT services, the effective delivery of applications can mean the difference between growth and decline, success and failure. Businesses depend on IT to fully control the quality-of-service for application delivery, without compromise. VMware vSphere 4 automates the delivery of service-level agreements (SLAs) covering availability, security, and scalability shifting the paradigm of data center management from infrastructure to service delivery.

Application owners who need to roll out new business services are shielded from the complexity of servers, storage and network infrastructure, leaving them to focus on the delivery of business value. The result is an automated, controlled environment that is resilient to failures and responsive to changing requirements without complexity or operational overhead.

Preserves the flexibility to choose between any type of OS, application and hardware, hosted in-house or using external resources

VMware vSphere future-proofs IT environments while delivering business services on demand, with the freedom to choose the right industry standard hardware, application architecture, operating system, or in-house or external infrastructure for changing business requirements.

With VMware vSphere 4, organizations retain flexibility of choice, remaining independent of hardware, operating system, application stack, and service provider. This means organizations can support their existing applications, and feel confident about future applications while retaining the flexibility to deploy within internal or external cloud infrastructures.
