Server consolidation is only half the job

Virtualization is a top IT strategy for one simple reason: business value. A fully virtualized data center brings simplicity and cost efficiencies to new heights. And it positions your IT infrastructure to quickly support the capabilities and scalability you need to keep your business agile and competitive.

VMware servers consolidate production workloads well, but backups create bottlenecks that tax network and storage resources. The benefits of virtualization cannot be fully realized without disk and network-optimized backup and replication methods. Maximizing ROI for virtualized environments requires a redesign of the entire IT stack — including and perhaps most importantly — backup.

EMC’s integrated, VMware-certified portfolio of backup solutions helps you speed VMware server backups, improve production environment performance, and enhance information protection for your critical VMware application environments.
