School Implements VMware vSphereTM 4 in Move to Cloud Computing, Finds that VMware vSphereâ„¢ 4 Helps Increase Control of Application Service Levels, Improve Manageability and Save Money

PALO ALTO, Calif. – July 28, 2009 – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop through the datacenter and to the cloud, today announced that School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Washington State University has upgraded to VMware vSphere 4 and identified several specific features, including VMware vStorageTM Thin Provisioning, VMware Fault Tolerance and VMware High availability (HA), that make VMware vSphereâ„¢ 4 a strong platform for the School of EECS’s implementation of cloud computing.

Washington State University has over 25,000 students at campuses across the state.  The university’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) selected  VMware vSphere 4 as it searched for the best platform to support a move to cloud computing.  Facing budget cuts related to current economic conditions, as well as continual pressure to do more with less, the EECS IT staff recognized that a virtualization platform such as VMware vSphere4 could help EECS improve the efficiency, control and choice in IT operations. VMware vSphere4 aggregates and manages IT resources as a seamless, flexible and dynamic service that offers nearly limitless scalability with greater reliability and better performance than a traditional IT environment in which resources must be dedicated to individual applications and systems.

A great article illustrating how this school benefited from deploying VMware vSphere, it’s always great to see how organizations have realized the benefits of a platform and what solutions they have deployed to deliver business benefit or IT transformation.
