Reduce IT Costs While Improving Flexibility & Responsiveness

Don’t let server sprawl and platform dependencies prevent your organization from achieving its goals. Take control of your IT infrastructure and help it reach its full potential by using virtual infrastructure solutions from VMware to:

• Reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50%
• Reduce energy costs by 80%
• Reduce the time it takes to provision new servers by up to 70%
• Save more than $3,000 per year for every server workload virtualized

Consolidate, Manage and Automate Your IT Infrastructure

Consolidate Excess Hardware & Increase Server Utilization

VMware is the recognized expert in virtualization technology solutions and offers the most robust software suite in the industry for server consolidation – VMware Infrastructure 3. By consolidating your server hardware with VMware Infrastructure 3, your organization can:

• Increase utilization of existing hardware from 10-15% up to 80%
• Reduce hardware requirements by a 10:1 ratio or better

Burwood Group and Vmware can help you assess your IT environment to identify consolidation candidates and to calculate the potential savings from using virtualization.

Manage Your Virtual Infrastructure from a Single Point of Control

While most vendors offer only single-point solutions for server virtualization, VMware gives you the power to manage an entire virtual infrastructure. Using the production-proven VMware VirtualCenter, your organization can:

• Accelerate provisioning time by 50-70%
• Manage virtual machines from a central location
• Monitor the performance of virtual machines and their hosts

Automate your Virtual Infrastructure to Ensure Peak Performance

With VMware, your IT organization can deliver levels of performance, scalability and availability that are not possible with a physical infrastructure. Using VMware vCenter Server in combination with our VMware VMotion and VMware DRS products, your organization will be able to:

• Avoid planned downtime with live migration of virtual machines
• Enable dynamic policy-based allocation of IT resources with automated load balancing
• Eliminate many repetitive configuration and maintenance tasks

VMware Professional Services and Burwood Group can help your organization leverage these unique capabilities as part of an ongoing strategy.
