New Sales Opportunities Enabled by VMware vSphere 4
1. Drive deeper and broader adoption of virtualization in the datacenter
Virtualize Tier 1 applications with:•
Maximized application throughput-
Up to 8,900 database transactions•
1
per second per virtual machine; annually 5x the entire payment traffi c of VISA
Over 200,000 IOPS per ESX host; capable of supporting over 3x the average daily traffi c of eBay•
2
Increased MS SQL Server throughput effi ciency by 20%•
Increased Citrix XenApp throughput by 30%•
Up to 3x network transmit throughput increases•
Up to 10x more iSCSI throughput to storage•
3
Record number of MS Exchange mailboxes per host•
4
Increased control over service levels-
VMware Fault Tolerance provides continuous levels of availability against hardware failures, tackling the needs of critical applications which may not have •
had any prior solutions for protection or used expensive redundant hardware/complex clustering software
VMware vShield Zones provides an effi cient way of enforcing application fi rewall policies in shared cluster environments•
Non-disruptive scale up of virtual machine CPUs (from 4 to 8 vCPUs), memory (64GB to 255GB), devices and disks •
Enforce enterprise levels of control over change and con guration through unique large scale management features (Why customers should buy or •
upgrade to Enterprise Plus)
VMware Host Pro les and VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch allow easy standardization of server security, storage and network settings, -
increasing operational e ciency by automating con guration management and reducing errors due to miscon guration
VMware DRS automates dynamic allocation of resources to virtual machines reducing the need to manually monitor and move virtual machines to -
address workload peaks and lows
VMware DPM (now supported fully) automates power optimization, reducing power costs by up to 20%-
VMware Storage VMotion (new UI now available) makes it easy to live migrate virtual machine disks from one storage location to another without -
disruption or downtime
Additional core entitlements future proof datacenters for increasing the numbers of cores in CPUs-
Deepen integration with storage, networking and security teams reducing barriers to adoption•
Advanced network management with third-party distributed virtual switch (e.g. Cisco Nexus 1000v)-
Advanced storage management with third-party multipathing plug-ins (e.g. EMC PowerPath)-
Advanced security with third-party security products leveraging VMsafe interfaces (e.g. Symantec, McAfee, Checkpoint, IBM, etc.)-
2. Drive virtualization adoption with SMB customers and ROBO customers
Integrated data protection• : E cient integrated backup and recovery and integrated  rewall protection
Increased availability• : Continuous protection against hardware failures with VMware Fault Tolerance
A ordable IT• : New packaging options to provide the industry’s lowest cost solution per workload
