About All Covered's Houston VMWare Consultants

VMware can significantly reduce the total cost of ownership for servers, and help reduce risk to business functions. Virtualization has significant value for businesses, and VMware delivers a substantial return on investment when leveraged properly in the environment. Contact All Covered for more information on how Virtualization can align to your business needs.

VMware is able to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for servers by consolidating workloads. Today’s servers are powerful and underutilized: a typical server is running at 15% utilization for the processor and 30% utilization for the memory. VMware leverages these available resources to enable multiple operating systems to run on one physical server, thereby maximizing hardware investments. Instead of adding new servers to an environment, businesses can instead add new virtual servers on to their existing server hardware; reducing hardware and energy costs, as well as minimizing the physical space needed for their infrastructure.

Virtualization technology allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single host computer. These virtual machines can run different operating systems, such as Windows, Linux and UNIX. Each virtual machine has its own set of virtual hardware resources (e.g., CPU, RAM, Hard Drive, etc) allowing the operating system to run as if it were installed on a physical machine.

VMware virtualized hosting is different from any other hosting that you may research. You'll find that it exists on a virtual server that operates independent of any operating system instead of it existing on a physical server that operates an operating system such as Windows. Servers usually have to have an operating system to rely on, but VMware virtualized hosting does not. It is an effective IT solution for your business when you want to manage your server in-house and want to do so in an effective manner.

Plan for the Infrastructure Needed

A number of questions concerning the underlying infrastructure needs to be considered:

  • • What are the implications for: backup/recovery, business continuity, local & wide area networking?
  • • What are the additional storage requirements?
  • • How will the storage be presented: CIFS, NFS, Lun or raw device?
  • • Is a Storage Area Network required: - fibre channel or ISCSI?
  • • How will the training budget be affected?
