VMware Virtualization

Virtualization is at the heart of VMware’s “one cloud, any application, any device” architecture. It’s the single most effective way to reduce IT expenses while boosting efficiency and agility – not just for large enterprises, but for small and midsize businesses too.

An efficient data center based on VMware Virtualization can boost IT efficiency, optimize your IT investments, and provide a competitive advantage. ARPWorkz data storage solutions complement VMware benefits, including VMware’s vSphere™ cloud computing foundation.

ARPWorkz lets you turn your virtualized data center into a pool of server, network, and storage resources. Virtualization uses software to simulate the existence of hardware and create a virtual computer system. Doing this allows businesses to run more than one virtual system – and multiple operating systems and applications — on a single server. This can provide economies of scale and greater efficiency.

VMware Virtualization have the following characteristics, which offer several benefits.

Partitioning

  • Run multiple operating systems on one physical machine
  • Divide system resources between virtual machines

Isolation

  • Provide fault and security isolation at the hardware level
  • Preserve performance with advanced resource controls

Encapsulation

  • Save the entire state of a virtual machine to files
  • Move and copy virtual machines as easily as moving and copying files

Hardware Independence

  • Provision or migrate any virtual machine to any physical server

The Virtual Machine

A virtual computer systems is known as “virtual machine” (VM):  a tightly isolated software container with an operating system and application inside.  Each self-contained VM is completely independent. Putting multiple VMs on a single computer enables several operating systems and applications to run on just one physical server, or “host”.

A thin layer of software called a hypervisor decouples the virtual machines from the host and dynamically allocates computing resources to each virtual machine as needed.

ARPWorkz data storage for vSphere environments delivers:

  1. Instantaneous backup and recovery
  2. Automation of labor-intensive data management tasks
  3. The ability to provision storage as fast as VMs
  4. Data deduplication across primary, backup, DR, and archival storage
