Go Green with VMware Virtualization
Energy consumption
is a critical issue for IT organizations today.
Computing equipment has become
increasingly dense, energy costs are on the rise and many datacenters simply
lack the power or space IT services require. Industry analysts estimate the
annual cost of powering a server will soon exceed its acquisition cost.
Underutilized desktop and server
hardware is at the root of the problem. Desktops and servers run at average
utilization rates of only 8-15 percent yet while idle consume nearly as much
power as they do when active. Hardware capacity is typically over-provisioned
because it is hard to adjust dynamically. The result is too much hardware that
is highly inefficient at delivering IT services.
Consequently, many IT
organizations are looking for solutions that can help them reduce their energy
costs and consumption while at least maintaining service levels and
responsiveness to the business.
VMware virtualization is
a proven solution for increasing energy efficiency, and many major utility
providers now offer financial incentives for virtualization-based desktop and
server consolidation projects. By participating in these incentive programs, you
can achieve even greater financial savings and faster ROI with VMware
virtualization solutions. Contact your local utility provider to find out if
they offer financial incentives for virtualization-based consolidation projects.
VMware solutions can help reduce
energy costs from the desktop to the datacenter by right-sizing your IT
infrastructure. More than 100,000 customers—including all of the Fortune
100—rely on VMware to reduce costs, increase IT efficiency and go green.

Efficiency for Corporate Desktop PCs: -
VMware solutions
can also help you improve energy efficiency on the desktop. Many VMware
customers are reducing their energy costs by using the VMware Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) solution to replace underutilized PC desktop hardware with
thin clients that consume far less energy and do not need to be replaced as
often. With VMware VDI, administrators get the added manageability and control
that comes with centralizing desktop images in the datacenter, while end users
get convenient, flexible access to their own complete, customizable desktop.
VMware VDI extends powerful virtual infrastructure capabilities to the desktop,
including dynamic workload balancing and distributed power management, which
improve availability and efficiency.
Key Benefits:
• Reduce energy costs by 80
percent.
• Dynamically power down servers without affecting
applications or end users.
• Green your IT infrastructure while improving reliability,
availability and service levels.
