Dramatically reduces capital expenses per application by 50% and operating expenses per application by over 60%

• 

Increases control over delivery of IT services with built-in, automated availability, security and scalability

• 

Preserves the fl exibility to choose between any type of OS, application and hardware, hosted in-house or using external resources

• 

VMware vSphere 4 builds on VMware Infrastructure 3 and adds in a number of powerful new capabilities

• 

VMware vSphere 4 can be purchased starting May 21 in new editions at diff erent prices

• 

•   Provides zero-downtime and zero-data-loss continuous 

availability in the case of hardware failures 

•   Eliminates even the smallest of disruptions in the 

event of hardware failures

•  Simple to set up 
•  Can be used with any application

•   Provides a central datacenter level aggregated control point 

for virtual machine networking

•   Enables the use of third party virtual switches such as Cisco 

Nexus 1000v in vSphere environments

•   Simplifi ed provisioning and administration of 

virtual machine networking

•   Enhanced security and monitoring for virtual 

machines migrated via VMware VMotion 
through maintenance and migration of port 
runtime state

•   Allows creation of “golden” profi les of ESX hosts and their 

application to existing or new hosts

•   Simplifi es the provisioning and confi guration 

management of ESX hosts

•   Defers the allocation of storage to virtual machines until

 it is needed

•   Uses monitoring and alerting capabilities to trigger proactive 

procurement of storage

•   Reduces storage costs by over 50% in virtual 

environments

•   Allows CPU and memory to be added to running virtual 

machines without disruption or downtime

•   Allows virtual HBAs and NICs to be added to or removed from 

virtual machines without disruption or downtime

•   Allows applications to be given additional 

resources without disruption or downtime

•   Provides backup to disk and simple recovery at a fi le or image 

level for small environments

•   Provides a simple, cost-eff ective data protection 

solution for small environments

•   Enforces corporate fi rewall security policies at the application 

level in a shared environment, while still maintaining trust and 
network segmentation of users and sensitive data

•  Simplifi es application security 
•   Allows more effi  cient use of fi rewalls in cluster 

environments comprising diff erent types of 
applications

•   Allows a single virtual machine to use up to 8 virtual CPUs 

at a time (this was previously 4 vCPUs in VI3)

•   Allows for the most compute intensive 

applications to be run as virtual machines

•  255GB of RAM in virtual machines (previously 64GB)
•  64 cores and 512GB of physical RAM supported by ESX hosts
•   Over 8,900 database transacion transactions per second 

per virtual machine – suffi  cient to run annually the entire 
transaction traffi  c of VISA

•   3x increases in network transmit throughput increase over 

VI 3.5

•   Increased MS SQL Server throughput effi  ciency by 20%
•  Increased Citrix XenApp throughput by 30%
•  Increased iSCSI throughput by up to 10x

2

•   Allows the most intense and critical applications 

to benefi t from all the advantages of 
virtualization without a noticeable impact to 
users
