2007 will become known in IT circles as the year Virtualization software exploded, particularly with the growth of EMC’s VMware. Suddenly the explosive growth of costs and server space for corporate IT has become contained and manageable, while at the same time saving corporations a great deal of money. Rosman Computing is an authorized reseller for VMware software.

Studies have shown that most servers were only using a small percentage of their CPU utilization, yet hardware costs to companies continued to grow as more servers were needed - Application servers, Database servers, Email servers, Storage servers. What virtualization allows companies to do is place many of those tasks on the same server - running multiple operating systems and applications independent of each other. While servers were originally designed to run only one operating system and single application, VMware breaks that bond, increasing utilization and saving time, money and energy.

Studies have shown that IT Departments running VMware Server Consolidation software can:

• Reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50%
• Reduce the time it takes to provision new servers by as much as 70$
• Save more than $3,000 per year for every server work year utilized

While most IT Managers are now fully aware of VMware’s Server Consolidation ability to stop server sprawl and increase computing capacity, there are several critical needs that VMware fill that are not as widely known:

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Business continuity has become a vital ingredient of IT strategies in a world where businesses need to operate 24 hours a day. The disruption of IT services can be fatal to a business. VMware’s virtualization products give you the means to eliminate planned downtime, deliver high availability, and be better prepared for disaster recovery. Virtualize your data center and make it easier to build solutions for the following:

• · Data protection, including non-disruptive backup and restore processes
• · High availability through reduced planned and unplanned downtime
• · Disaster recovery with hardware independent recover

Desktop Manageability and Security. Desktop PCs present enterprises with continuing manageability and security challenges. These challenges create increased costs and security risks for organizations.

VMware solutions leverage proven virtualization technology to enable a level of desktop manageability and security that would be impossible with traditional desktop environments running on dedicated physical PCs.

Software Design and Testing. Having the ability to test and troubleshoot software on 1 PC, using several different operating systems and VMware, dramatically cuts down the time and expense needed for programmers and QC to test software.
