Virtualization Technologies |

Server Provisioning and
Management: Makes it possible for operator and administrators
to load, manage, and operate multisystem configurations regardless
of whether other virtual environment software categories are
present. |
| + |
Virtual Disk Storage: Allows
applications to be unaware of where and how application and
data files are actually stored. It virtualizes across multiple
vendors’ arrays so users can set up a single pool of storage
no matter the hardware installed. |
| + |
Virtual Tape Storage: Provides
a virtual disk buffer between the host/server and the tape
storage, which allows for faster performance, faster data recall
and better utilization of the tape storage media. This results
in significant cost and space savings and better overall manageability
of your datacenter. |
| + |
Virtual Access Software: Allows applications
to be accessed from nearly any intelligent access joint device
over just about any network, without applications having to
be architected to support that device or network. |
| + |
Virtual Processing Software: Makes
a single system appear to be many systems, or can make many
systems appear to be a single computing resource running a
single operating environment. |

Sun™ Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
(VDI) Software: Deploy a secure, resilient and available desktop
environment (Windows, Solaris™ or Linux) with a desktop that
never leaves the datacenter. Users access their centralized
desktops from a wide range of supported client devices, including
Windows PCs and Sun Ray virtual display clients. A variety
of networks are supported, from LAN to WAN or the public Internet.
Easily shift virtual desktop session from device to device.
This solution utilizes Sun Secure Global Desktop and can include
Sun’s unique Sun Ray technology, which uses only 4 watts of
power. |
| + |
VMware® VirtualCenter: Centralize management
of all of the virtual machines in your environment. End users
use remote display software to access their desktop environment
from a PC or thin client. With a virtual desktop infrastructure,
administrators can: |
| |
– |
Build hardware-independent desktop
environments |
– |
Run multiple virtual machines simultaneously
on the same system, each independent and isolated from
others on that system |
– |
Provision new virtual machines from
templates in minutes |

The #1 energy consumer in the datacenter
is the server—racks upon racks of servers running the business-critical
applications you count on. So chances are, you’ll make servers
a priority for virtualization. That’s why Sun offers a
range of server virtualization options for the datacenter, including: |
| + |
Hardware Partitions: Sun
SPARC® Enterprise mid-range and high-end servers include the
capability to create Dynamic System Domains which physically
divide a single system into multiple isolated partitions, each
running a unique instance of Solaris. |
| + |
Virtual Machines: A virtual machine enables enterprises
to run multiple, different operating systems concurrently as
guests on a single physical machine. Sun provides customers with
a choice of Virtual Machine technologies, including Logical Domains
(LDOMs) on Sun Servers with CoolThreads™ technology, and VMware
support on Sun Fire™ and Sun Blade™ x64 Servers. |
| + |
Operating System Virtualization:
Sun Solaris Containers in the Solaris 10 operating system is
a software partitioning technology that complements domains
and virtual machines. Solaris containers enable you to create
thousands of partitions under one instance of the Solaris OS.
This results in minimal overhead costs, and reduced management
complexities, application licensing costs and administrative costs.

Sun™ xVM Ops Center uniquely enables
the management of both physical and virtualized assets in heterogeneous
environments. Sun xVM Ops Center gives you an edge by helping
you simplify and optimize your datacenter operations thereby
enabling more efficient business by: |
| |
– |
Providing a complete, highly-scalable
datacenter automation tool |
– |
Simplifying discovery, provisioning,
updates and management of physical and virtualized assets |
– |
Supporting Linux and Solaris OS-based
x86 and SPARC environments. |

VMware® Infrastructure 3 virtualizes
and aggregates industry standard servers and their attached
network and storage. Eliminating many of the constraints of
traditional hardware, VMware Infrastructure 3 allows companies
to gain the benefits of virtualization several areas: |
| |
– |
Reduces server sprawl by running
applications in virtual machines on fewer, highly scalable,
reliable enterprise-class servers. |
– |
Provides advanced business continuity
at a lower cost, and a unified disaster recovery platform
that allows many production virtual machines to be recovered
in the event of hardware failure without costly one-to-one
mapping of production and DR hardware. |
– |
Secures and manages desktops for
a geographically dispersed workforce by providing a standard
corporate desktop image in a virtual machine. |
– |
Simplifies infrastructure provisioning,
reducing the time for provisioning new infrastructure to
minutes with sophisticated automation capabilities using
Virtual appliances. |
– |
Re-hosts legacy applications. Migrates
legacy operating systems and software applications to virtual
machines running on new hardware for better reliability. |
