VMware vSphere Protect for Small and Midsize Business

BANGALORE, INDIA: Protect your business with vSphere, the most trusted and reliable virtualization platform in the industry. With vSphere, you can simplify your IT footprint and maximize utilization of your existing IT infrastructure. Allow multiple virtual machines to share the computing, networking and storage resources of a single physical machine. Provide application availability with vSphere’s built-in business continuity features, policy-based service level management and integrated network security and firewall protection.

Affordable Business Continuity and Automated IT Management

VMware vSphere is the most cost-effective way to achieve simple, always-available IT and maximize utilization of your existing IT investments.

Infrastructure and Management

VMware vSphere — SMBs’ top choice for virtualization

vSphere simplifies IT by separating applications and operating systems from the underlying

hardware (using VMware ESXiâ„¢ hypervisor). Your existing applications see dedicated

resources, but your servers can be managed as a pool of resources. The result is a simplified

yet resilient IT environment in which to run your business. vSphere enables you to:

- Ensure business continuity with automatic detection and recovery from server failures

by restarting applications automatically on working servers.

- Maintain application service levels by using policy-based prioritization of compute,

network and storage resources.

- Improve application quality by provisioning test or development environments in minutes.

- Dramatically save on server hardware and operating costs. SMBs using vSphere on

average run 10 workloads per server host.

- Provide the foundation for a disaster recovery solution with very cost-efficient,

simple, yet powerful replication

SMBs getting started with virtualization can take the first step with vSphere Kits, which

include vSphere virtualization and VMware vCenter Serverâ„¢ for central management.

vSphere Essentials Plus Kit provides the most cost-effective way for small businesses to

achieve business continuity without shared storage hardware. Small businesses can use

VMware Go Pro to easily adopt virtualization and as a gateway to consume cloud-based

services, such as patch management.

vSphere Acceleration Kits provide midsize

businesses with scalable virtualization and offer extensible management capabilities,

such as VMware vCenter Protect for patch management of physical and virtual

environments and VMware vCenter Operations Manager to maximize IT operational

efficiency. Multi-site SMBs can add VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager to

implement an automated disaster recovery solution on premises.

VMware offers vSphere Storage Appliance as part of the Essentials Plus and Acceleration

Kits to lower the costs of providing business continuity with a simplified IT footprint. This

software transforms your servers’ internal storage into a shared storage resource, allowing

you to enable vSphere business continuity features such as VMware vSphere vMotion

and VMware vSphere High Availability.

Applications and End-User Access

SMBs can further extend their cost savings beyond servers to their entire IT environment

with VMware solutions that deliver flexible, anywhere end-user access to business

applications.
