Maximizing ROI from virtualization
The challenge for virtualization users is how to effectively manage the virtual environment. Virtualization introduces new management challenges and complexity to the data center. To maximize the ROI promised by virtualization, users need tools specifically built for managing enterprise virtualization deployments. Platform VMO is the only such virtualization solution that meets the scale and dynamic computing requirements of enterprise datacenters.
Benefits of Platform VMO
- Increase IT productivity, responsiveness to business needs. Multi-host dynamic resource management (DRM) allocates resources across the entire virtual environment according to policies mapped to business priorities. DRM optimizes resource utilization, availability, and power consumption, removes bottlenecks, minimizes human error and effort, and reduces operational costs.
- Deliver VMs to end-users faster. End users can request and manage VMs through a self-service portal, dramatically improving machine turn-around times and user control, reducing administration involvement.
- Minimize cost. Eliminate the silos of traditional IT deployments to maximize use of existing resources. Share virtual infrastructure across departments and groups, but maintain isolation for security, chargeback.
- Leverage existing system management investment. A complete audit trail to management tools, such as Dell™ OpenManage, allows administrators to centrally monitor virtual environment with familiar tools.
You should consider Platform VMO if you want to:
- Maximize your investment in enterprise systems management tools.
- Eliminate the silos of traditional IT deployment.
- Increase administrative responsiveness by allowing users to fulfill their own requests.
- Automate administrative tasks to achieve optimal resource utilization, availability and power consumption.
