Virtualization enables the creation of virtual machines, drastically reducing hardware costs, allowing for highly efficient computing capacity, and increasing system and application uptime. The concept essentially separates software applications from the underlying hardware platform and allows multiple operating systems and applications to run on the same server and system hardware resources, including compute quota, storage, and network functionality.
A key product in VMware's portfolio is VMware vSphere 6, the latest edition of the industry-leading virtualization software for public and private hybrid cloud solutions and the software-defined data center. The latest version of VMware vSphere offers more than 650 new features and provides customers with a highly available and resilient cloud infrastructure to run, secure, and manage any application.
In addition, vSphere with Operations Management™ is also available, targeting many embedded industries, and providing an integrated virtualization platform designed to optimize operations with automated management and intelligent visibility.
Complementing vSphere and also available on Avnet Embedded EMEA are other VMware solutions, including: VMware NSX®, the leading network virtualization platform that delivers a virtual machine operating model for the network; and VMware Virtual SAN™, which offers a high-performance flash memory optimized storage solution.
