VMware GSX Server is virtualization software for consolidating departmental servers. The core challenges associated with server consolidation are:
VMware GSX Server meets these challenges by isolating operating systems and applications in virtual machines that can co-exist on the same physical server. Server resources can be dynamically allocated to each virtual machine at your choice of granularity. The result is better server utilization while ensuring application performance. When used across servers in production environments, VMware GSX Server provides a virtualization layer that turns your physical computers into a pool of logical computing resources, dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of delivering all enterprise services.
With VMware GSX Server, you can economically consolidate applications running on dedicated low-end servers onto a single, more reliable and scalable server. Common monitoring and management tasks are scriptable, so the software is easy to integrate into any environment. You can remotely manage your servers, individually or as a group, from any location. This cuts server maintenance costs and makes the most efficient use of your IT staff. VMware GSX Server lets you deploy services faster and manage server applications and computing resources more easily. The results are optimal flexibility and manageability and much lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
