Across the enterprise - in data centers and entire IT environments - VMware virtual infrastructure technology has approached mainstream proportions. VMware virtual infrastructure technology is the most widely deployed software for optimizing and managing IT environments through virtualization - from the desktop to the data center. Through virtualizing IT infrastructures, customers recognize tremendous benefits in reduced costs - through more efficient use of resources; faster, more flexible responsiveness to business needs - improving time to productivity and increased availability of applications and systems - to achieve stringent SLAs found into today's datacenters around the world. Managed Virtualization directly addresses this new challenge. Managed Virtualization combines Altiris' simplified approach to IT lifecycle management with the power of VMware virtualization.
