Virtualization solutions from VMware save customers time and money, while achieving more with the computer resources available. Egenera's data center virtualization solutions complement and extend VMware solutions by virtualizing the network and storage infrastructure, in addition to server infrastructure - eliminating up to 80 percent of data center components and creating a flexible, agile and high performance environment for business- and mission-critical applications.
The Egenera® BladeFrame® system is an ideal platform to host large-scale deployments of virtual machines (VMs) when availability and scalability are key requirements. In addition, Egenera® PAN Manager™ software provides automatic hardware failover and high availability, disaster recovery, policy-based automation, and full monitoring and management capabilities.
Through an OEM agreement with VMware, customers are able to purchase VMware Infrastructure 3 and other VMware products directly from Egenera and its authorized resellers. Egenera provides direct front line support and services for VMware products running on Egenera systems to ensure optimal operations. The agreement further strengthens the relationship between the two companies, and delivers closely aligned and complementary virtualization solutions for the next generation enterprise data center.
"Customers are looking for complete virtualization solutions to consolidate workloads, reduce IT costs and provide business continuity for mission-critical applications and processes," said Brian Byun, vice president of global partners and solutions, VMware. "This expansion of Egenera's relationship with VMware makes it even easier for customers to reap these benefits on Egenera systems by enabling more streamlined implementations of VMware Infrastructure."
