Installation Guide
8 VMware, Inc.
Ideally suited for corporate IT and service provider data centers, VMware ESX Server
allows you to:
! Implement server consolidation. You can consolidate applications and
infrastructure services onto fewer highly scalable, highly reliable enterprise-class
servers.
! Deliver high availability and provide for disaster recovery. With a stable, uniform
platform, you can deliver more services and deploy new solutions faster and more
efficiently. You can store critical data in secure, isolated virtual servers to protect
against the vulnerabilities of physical servers.
! Guarantee service levels. Like an internal service provider, your IT department can
deliver guaranteed server resources of CPU, memory, disk bandwidth, and
network bandwidth at optimum performance levels, improving service to
customers.
! Streamline development and testing. Your software developers and quality
assurance engineers can work effectively with multiple machine environments
and build more realistic tests in less time with less hardware.
How VMware ESX Server Works
VMware ESX Server runs directly on your system hardware to provide a secure,
uniform platform for deploying, managing, and remotely controlling multiple
operating systems.
With VMware ESX Server, you can:
! Move applications running on dedicated systems into separate virtual machines
on a single, more reliable and scalable system.
! Remotely manage servers from any location, simplifying server maintenance.
! Guarantee service levels with advanced resource management controls.
! Script common monitoring and management tasks.
! Increase capacity without adding new physical systems.
