services with the click of a button, 
translating into new opportunities 
for end users to procure IT resources 
exactly when they need them. 

By standardizing processes, 
increasing automation and 
delivering IT as a Service, you will 
drive additional savings beyond 
virtualization, while significantly 
reducing the amount of maintenance 
required per IT administrator.

A private cloud built on VMware 
technology will enable your IT 
department to transform itself into 
an efficient, agile and user-friendly 
internal service provider. You can 
then deliver on the promise of IT as 
a Service, providing fully automated, 
catalog-based services to internal 
users through a Web-based portal. 

Enterprise-Class Management for 
the Cloud

Virtualization for industry-standard 
x86 environments has accelerated 
the delivery of IT services and is a 
foundation for cloud infrastructure. 
Yet delivering self-service and 
managing these dynamic environments 
requires a new level of automation  
to minimize cost and ensure control 
and compliance. 

VMware is uniquely positioned 
to build on this foundation with a 
new breed of solutions designed 
specifically for dynamic virtualized 
and cloud environments. These 
new solutions replace inefficient, 
manual processes with policy-
driven automation and deliver 
IT management as an intrinsic 
part of the system and not as an 
afterthought. With this more modern 
approach, your organization can 
achieve the efficiency, control and 
compliance needed to move from 
cost center to service provider. 

VMware virtualization and cloud 
management solutions are purpose-
built for dynamic environments 
to fundamentally change how 
organizations manage IT and deliver 
services. These solutions, which 
include the VMware vCenter™ family 
of products, work with VMware 
vSphere to help you do the following:

•  Create a zero-touch infrastructure—

optimizing operational efficiency 
with built-in automation to make 
smarter and better use of virtual 
and cloud infrastructure.

•  Dynamically assure compliance and 

performance in the face of growing
