Why Choose VMware

Choosing a Virtualization Solution
Now that you understand the value of a virtual infrastructure for your organization, it is time to look at how to choose a virtualization solution. What factors are most important when picking between vendors?

From working with analysts, customers, and partners, it is apparent that companies need a solution that meets ALL of the following requirements:

1. Is built on a robust, proven foundation
2. Delivers a platform for shared IT services
3. Provides a complete solution for virtualization management
4. Supports your entire IT infrastructure
5. Is proven across tens of thousands of customer deployments

As you’ll see, it quickly becomes clear that only VMware delivers on all of these important requirements. And best of all, VMware delivers while providing low total-cost-of-ownership (TCO).
See how VMware delivers on all the above customer requirements, while offerings from other vendors fall short.
