Virtual infrastructures provide a layer of abstraction between computing, storage and networking storage, and the software that runs on it. Virtual infrastructure technology simplifies IT so that companies are able to control their storage, network and computing resources to control costs and respond faster. The network administrator manages and optimises resources across the enterprise, so as to maximise capability.
VMware's virtual infrastructure architecture enables businesses to lower IT costs through
• increased efficiency
• flexibility
• responsiveness.
Virtualised environments enable IT departments to connect resources to business needs easily and quickly. With virtual infrastructures, businesses can provide new services, and minimise the amount of resources dedicated to individual software services. Data centres can be treated as a single pool of processing, storage and networking power.
The VMware virtual hardware platform implemented by VMware's virtual machines makes virtual infrastructures possible. It creates a uniform hardware image – implemented in software – that operating systems and applications can run on. On top of this platform, VMware's family of products provide management and provisioning of virtual machines, continuous workload consolidation across physical servers and VMotion™ technology for virtual machine mobility. Hardware management is completely separated from software management, and hardware equipment can be treated as a single pool of processing, storage and networking power to be allocated and de-allocated to different software services when needed.

• lower costs
