Vmware

One of the key IT initiatives at IU is to virtualize as much of this complex IT infrastructure as possible to achieve maximum flexibility and scalability, and tremendous cost savings. IU’s estimates suggested a 70 percent possible savings from reducing the use of x86 hardware, and from greater flexibility to deploy new systems and applications quickly and without purchasing new hardware. Virtualization also takes capacity planning to a new level. IU’s IT team can size up and size down virtual machines to ensure service levels under variable load.
You can dramatically improve the availability, performance and utilization of your IT resources through VMware virtualization, where the hardware resources of a single computer are used by multiple virtual machines. VMware offers the highest performing and most scalable virtualization and private cloud platform in the industry for even the most resource-intensive business critical applications at the lowest TCO.
No other company provides the breadth of production-proven virtualization and cloud management solutions offered by VMware. With the VMware vCloud Suite, you get a complete, integrated suite that simplifies IT operations while delivering the best SLAs for all applications.
