VMware CEEMEA Customer Quotes Reduce Costs Without VMware Infrastructure we would run out of free space in hosting centers. Total number of servers would become very hard to manage and we would never achieve 24x7 operations with real-time failover if this entire infrastructure was not virtualized. VMware technologies also help us to deliver successful disaster recovery Simplify Management Meet Service Levels Efficiently Ladislav Salat, IT Technical Manager Tesco Stores, CZ VMware has proven itself as an ideal solution for the Eurovision Song Contest press center. We can manage the complete desktop infrastructure centrally, including the maintenance of desktop images and the provision of new virtual machines when increased capacity is required. The VMware solution gave us the freedom and flexibility to try different approaches safe in the knowledge that we could easily undo changes Nenad Čukalović, Head of System Engineering, Radio Television of Serbia Using VMware virtual infrastructure, we can offer the same levels of service and more flexibility for up to 40 percent lower server and operating costs.

Positive Customer Response Plug-and-Play Installation, Configuration, and Deployment I bring up a new server every 2 weeks or so. Instead of taking 1/2 day, it takes about 5 minutes! Just plug it in! This simplifies deployments to my remote branches where there s local, low-skilled administration Hardware Integration Buying virtualization with hardware is a natural way to procure, cuts down significantly on internal certification Security and Reliability I like the reduced security exposure and the opportunity to simplify patching and updating 58
