Virtualizing Enterprise Applications

 

Performance improvements in virtualization solutions make it possible to virtualize 95% of all Enterprise applications including many of those that previously could not be virtualized, such as SQL Server databases or Exchange servers.

These performance improvements were realized by reducing hypervisor overhead and providing direct access to physical storage and network adapters from a virtual machine for those applications where very high performance IO is a requirement. Here are some suggestions about what is possible today from VMware:

  • Virtualize Exchange and match or exceed native performance while reducing infrastructure footprint
  • SharePoint Server is more scalable, available and flexible on a virtual infrastructure with reduced hardware requirements
  • Consolidate SQL Server databases and cut hardware and software costs by more than 50%
  • Virtualize Oracle applications, middleware and databases and leverage storage, network and computing resources
  • Run SAP on VMware and dynamically rebalance applications as needed
