VMware: Making green IT a reality
Many organisations are seeking to become more energy efficient and looking to take measures to reduce the size and impact of their carbon footprint. VMware's virtualisation technology can help organisations in this area and make these aspirations a reality.
VMware's virtual infrastructure enables you to:
- Increase utilisation rates
- Cut server sprawl
- Reduce energy consumption
- Save money
- Reallocate budget
- Reduce your carbon footprint
One of the core benefits of VMware infrastructure is that it enables you to reduce the amount of servers your organisation requires to run applications. This is achieved through increasing utilisation rates and server consolidation. As a consequence, spend on hardware is reduced as fewer servers are required and because fewer servers are being used; less energy is consumed. In addition to reducing power consumption, it also has the additional benefit of saving your organisation money!
Vmware facilitates server consolidation, which reduces power consumption to run
and cool physical servers.
The above is of course a very simplified explanation of the potential green benefits of VMware and does not take into account the range of variables at play. One of these variants, for instance, is the increased power consumption of physical servers due to their improved utilisation rates. But even when this is taken in to account – because of the dramatic reduction in the total number of servers required to run a virtualised environment – savings in energy consumption and operational costs are very real.
And it doesn't stop there!
You can also save energy and money by changing current back up and disaster recovery methods. Recovery sites can also be virtualised and consolidated, which again means fewer servers, less energy consumed.

Whether you're looking to virtualise your datacentre or simply reduce the amount of floor space being taken up by physical servers in your server room, VMware can make a difference.
