Companies utilizing VMWare technology to consolodiate their IT Server environment.

VMWare helps companies to significantly save IT cost and enjoy operational efficiencies by significantly consolidating and more efficiently utilizing their IT infrastructure. Significant IT cost containment/savings can be realized though the implementation of this technology. This could provide a competitive advantage and contribute to increased profits.

The following are quotes taken from VMWare Informational White Papers available on the vmware.com website:

VMware virtualization software has saved billions of dollars in
hardware and operational costs. The cost savings driven by
VMware Infrastructure are only accelerating as processors grow
more powerful, the suite is certified on additional low-cost
hardware, and VMware Infrastructure continues to scale up to
address the most demanding enterprise workloads.

Customers of VMware Infrastructure are often
able to consolidate to 10 or more virtual machines per physical
processor, thereby drastically increasing server utilization and
containing server sprawl.

Consolidating underutilized servers lowers capital costs by
reducing the need to buy additional hardware for new projects,
and removing servers from the data center enables a proportional reduction in operational costs for power, cooling and
floor space.

The customers profiled in this study reduced their server TCO by 74% on average and realized an ROI of over 3 00% within the first six months of deploying VMware virtualization software. Although the sample size in this study is too small to make significant generalizations of TCO savings by industry or across types of businesses, the findings from the three customers studied in this paper are consistent with VMware experiences with other customers.
