Business Benefits of VMware Technology:
 

The increasing demand for earning the VMware credentials could be attributed for the following reasons.
 

1. Cost Savings
 

The virtualization brought about by multiple servers reduces the physical server needs, storage space, and lowers the energy bill. Additionally, it reduces the carbon footprint, cooling costs, floor space, UPS costs, and so forth. Further, the maintenance or upgrade costs also get cheaper.
 

For instance: The use of VMware vCenter Server.
 

2. No Downtime
 

The systems will run uninterrupted. The program gets updated automatically and is moved to all of the hosted virtual servers, in case a server crashes. Thus, the business will have system availability without any downtime. It makes the distributed power management [DPM] and the distributed resource scheduler [DRS] highly possible.
 

For instance: The use of VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager, VMware vMotion.
 

3. Backup and Restore
 

It is easier and quicker to backup the virtual machines. The disaster recovery is made easy as the backups are at image-level through snapshot technology. A single file, single mail, mailbox, database, or the whole server could have backups at three levels. They are server level, application and/or the file level.  
 

For instance: Use of the IGS and the VMware virtualization
 

4. Virtual Labs
 

The creation of virtual labs helps you to test the exchange, vSphere, Active Directory, and, etc. Further, the software test, configuration of the system, and updates can be done without extra time and effort as there is no need to modify the workstations. It cuts down the time and investment cost for the company.
 

For instance: VMware vCenter Lab Manager
 

5. Security
 

You can create virtual networks and isolate the server as required. Thus, the sensitive data would be handled by only the authenticated personnel and there is no fear of exchange of information between wrong hands, that may lead to data breach and eventually the trust of the partners or the customers.
