Built upon a proven virtualization platform, vSphere is the next evolutionary step that provides the foundation for internal and external clouds, using federation and standards to bridge cloud infrastructures — creating a secure private cloud. Organizations of all sizes can achieve the full benefits of cloud computing, delivering the highest levels of application service agreements with the lowest total cost per application workload.

• Slash capital and operational costs
  Through consolidating servers and containing additional hardware spend. VMware virtualization delivers improved utilization of their servers, resulting in fewer resources to manage, power, store, and buy – enabling small businesses to increase utilization rates for x86 servers from 5-15 percent up to 60-80 percent.

• Enhance Staff Productivity and Business Responsiveness
  with VMware vSphere solutions which are easy to deploy, use, and manage.

• Protect your Applications and Data
  Keep your business up and running with automated back up, application availability and disaster recovery across physical sites.

vSphere continues leading the virtualization technology with the industry's first cloud computing platform allowing IT the ability to deliver virtualization as a service.

VMware gives a 60-day free trial to get you completely hooked. Once you've virtualized and experienced the consolidation and availability benefits, you cannot go back!
