VMware ESX
Build the Foundation of a Responsive Data Centre
Create the foundation for the dynamic and automated data
centre with VMware ESX - the market leading hypervisor,
production-proven at thousands of customers of all sizes. VMware
ESX abstracts server processor, memory, storage and networking
resources into multiple virtual machines, forming the robust
foundation of the VMware Infrastructure 3 suite. Since 2001
VMware ESX has set the standard for highest levels of

VMware Virtual SMP
Run Enterprise Workloads in Virtual Machines
Virtualise even your most processor-intensive enterprise
applications. VMware Virtual SMP allows a single virtual machine
to use up to four physical processors simultaneously. Scaling
your virtual infrastructure is much easier with multiple
processors working in parallel in a single virtual machine. Only
VMware provides symmetric multiprocessing for industry-standard
virtual machines.

VMware High Availability (HA)
Provide Uniform High Availability at a Lower Cost
Deliver high availability across your entire virtualised IT
environment without the cost or complexity of traditional
clustering solutions. VMware HA provides cost-effective high
availability for any application running in a virtual machine,
regardless of its operating system or underlying hardware
configuration. VMware HA eliminates the need for dedicated
stand-by hardware and additional software. |

VMware DRS
Dynamically Allocate System Resources
Align your IT infrastructure with your business goals by
dynamically allocating and balancing computing resources with
VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). VMware DRS
continuously monitors utilisation across resource pools and
intelligently allocates available resources among the virtual
machines based on pre-defined rules that reflect business needs
and changing priorities. When virtual machine resources are
constrained, additional capacity is made available by migrating
live virtual machines to a different physical server using
VMware VMotion. |
Data Sheet
