What is Virtualization?

A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine (i.e. a computer) that executes programs like a physical machine. Quoted from Wiki. With VMware ESX, a single physical server can run several virtual machines simultaneously.

Why Virtualization?

Reduced IT Cost on Physical Servers

Increased Efficiency of IT Professionals

Testing Applications prior to Production

Improved Application Availability

More applications on the same physical server

Testing Applications prior to Production

Improved Application Availability

With VMware virtualization, SMBs can test more applications by optimizing pre-production staging environments, resulting in less downtime for the applications that run and drive the business.

Reduced IT Cost on Physical Servers

Increased Efficiency of IT Professionals

Testing Applications prior to Production

VMware Fault Tolerance enables a transparent failover with no disruption of service in the event of hardware failures

Improved Application Availability

VMware Virtualization Infrastructure

A shared networked storage is an essential component of a VMware Virtualization infrastructure.
To take advantages of the capabilities of VMware vSphere (including vMotion, Fault Tolerance, Distributed Resource Scheduling, and High Availability), storage must be networkaccessible.
