Ebized Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hey Stew! VMware is quite simple... ...imagine a datacenter full of computers, sucking up power, pumping out heat, destroying the planet and only being used for about 6% of their actual power. That is the industry standard - around the world, the average CPU utilization is 6%, meaning that a lot of power, cooling and cash is wasted. Imagine if you could reduce that number of computers, therefore reduce the power used, the cooling required, and the cash spent... how could you do it? You can turn computers off, but for those still required you can VIRTUALIZE them with VMware. And for any new requests for computeres, you can VIRTUALIZE them. What virtualization does is let multiple virtual machines run on one physical machine - they share the physical machine but they are kept isolated, well they are with VMware but not with our competitors. The end result is: much less space used in the datacenter, much less power used, smaller carbon footpring, less cooling (=even less power) and cost avoidance (capital expenditure and operational expenditure) = no brainer. For home / desktop users, things are even more exciting. Do a google for VMware Server, Workstation, ACE, ThinApp and VDI. If you're still awake, well done Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
