Since the heyday of centralized computing environments started two decades ago, distributed computing environments have become the norm for virtually all enterprise organizations. Although the benefits are clearly understood, many of the costs associated with this model are increasing substantially as environments scale. To address these concerns, this IDC whitepaper considers the concept of desktop virtualization. Specifically, the benefits and limitations of VMware's VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and ACE (Assured Computing Environment), as well as user case studies exemplifying best use cases for each.

Server virtualization is a key technology for scalable enterprise solutions. One of its primary advantages is the portability of virtual machines (VMs) from one physical server to another: as new generations of industry standards–based servers are released, administrators can easily migrate VMs running on the VMware ESX Server platform to the new hardware, provided the new hardware is also running ESX Server and shares storage with other ESX Server systems. Administrators can take advantage of this portability when upgrading to VMware Infrastructure 3, which not only introduces several important features but can also help provide significant performance increases when deployed on ninth generation Dell PowerEdge servers. This Whitepaper describes the advantages of this type of environment and outlines best practices to help administrators carry out this upgrade while minimizing downtime for users and applications.

Virtualization leader VMware has been a pioneer in both enterprise and SMB virtualization deployments, particularly in server virtualization. In June 2006, VMware launched its VMware Infrastructure 3 bundled solutions, packaging together the company's older and newer product functionality into several easily digestible bundles. This paper profiles the virtualization experience of two VMware SMB-size customers, and provides a window into the 'real-life' impact of virtualization for IT managers juggling the dual priorities of remaining competitive and keeping costs in check.

VMware virtualization software has been adopted by over 20,000 enterprise IT organizations worldwide. Contain server sprawl by running software applications in virtual machines on fewer, highly scalable, reliable enterprise-class servers. Consolidating underutilized servers lowers capital costs by reducing the need to buy additional hardware for new projects, and removing servers from the data center enables a proportional reduction in operational costs for power, cooling and floor space. This paper clarifies how adopting VMware infrastructure as a fundamental IT strategy helps organizations achieve their cost- and space-saving goals.
