My very first VMware

VMware vSphere Essentials Plus

provides an all-in-one solution for small offices to consolidate and manage many application workloads while reducing hardware and operating costs with a low up-front investment. VMware vSphere Essentials Plus delivers high application availability and data protection for a complete server consolidation and business continuity solution for the small office IT environment.

VMware key components

  • VMware vSphere delivers high performance by implementing Intel’s 2nd generation virtualisation support
  • VMware ESX and VMware ESXi provide a virtualisation layer that allows multiple virtual machines to share compute, network and storage resources of a single physical server
  • VMware vCenter™ Server for Essentials provides rapid provisioning, centralised management and performance monitoring
  • VMware vCenter Update Manager provides automated patch andupdate management for VMware ESX hosts, as well as VMs with Windows or Linux
  • VMware High Availability (HA) provides hardware-independent failover for VMs on VMware ESX hosts
  • VMware integrated Data Recovery provides a simple, cost effective, agent-less backup and recovery.

ETERNUS DX60/DX80 benefits

In server virtualization scenarios with VMware, storage consolidation is a top requirement. ETERNUS DX60/DX80 disk storage systems provide this with the highest availability and enormous scalability of up to 120 Terabytes (DX80). Their high transfer speed can connect multiple virtual machines, which place much more load on storage systems than lightly-used physical servers.

Virtualization of storage

ETERNUS DX60/DX80 store data on various high-performance or large-capacity media to serve different service levels. Through storage virtualisation technology, data can be migrated between pools of disk drives while the systems are running.

PRIMERGY server benefits

With PRIMERGY ServerView Resource Coordinator, physical and virtual environments can be easily managed. Second generation of Intel® (VT) virtualisation technology used in PRIMERGY servers helps to reduce the workload of the installed Hypervisor, increasing throughput and reducing power consumption without sacrificing performance. Fujitsu’s PRIMERGY RX200 S5 with Intel® Xeon® processor delivers the overall highest 8-core result in the VMmark benchmark among dual socket 1U servers.
