VMware Virtualization and Cloud Management
D A t A S H e e t / 3
For example, with VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager,
users can quickly understand application dependencies with
unparalleled accuracy to accelerate moves and changes with higher
levels of control and assurance. Using SpringSource® Hyperic, IT
organizations can monitor and manage performance for Web and
custom applications across physical, virtual and cloud
environments. VMware vCenter AppSpeed makes it simple to
monitor application transactions and break latency issues down to
the contributing components using non-intrusive technologies
designed for virtual infrastructures.
End-User Computing Management
With the increasing consumerization of IT, end users are
becoming more demanding, requiring anytime, anywhere access
from an ever-growing array of applications and devices. VMware
end-user computing management allows IT teams to:
• Provision and deploy virtual desktops rapidly.
• Manage virtual desktop images more easily.
• Deliver virtualized applications to endpoint devices.
These capabilities enable IT organizations to move toward user-
centric management and embrace cloud-ready services to
deliver the right content, in the right context, in a secure, policy-
driven manner.
Desktop and application virtualization breaks the bonds between
software, hardware and operating systems, eliminating the need
to actually install or manage desktop environments on end user
devices. From a central location, IT administrators can deliver,
manage and update all Windows desktops and applications in
minutes. This approach makes the testing, provisioning and
support of applications and desktops much easier and less costly.
For example, you can modernize your desktop infrastructure with
VMware View™ and VMware ThinApp™. Both offerings allow you
to better manage traditional desktop layers (operating system,
applications and persona) and increase the security and
compliance around these components while providing the
freedom and flexibility of access across a variety of end-user
devices. This is possible because desktops, applications and data
are secure in the datacenter and delivered as a managed service.
IT Business Management
VMware IT business management solutions allow IT and service
providers to confidently deliver new levels of self-service while
ensuring these new services are automatically governed with
appropriate business and process-level controls. Self-service
without business governance can lead to sprawl, cost, licensing,
chargeback, and security issues. To address these issues,
VMware solutions:
• Enable transparent cost reporting.
• Govern cloud provisioning processes.
• Track cloud software license usage.
VMware management products fundamentally simplify how IT is managed with built-in automation and policy-based control.
