EMC has announced an extension of capabilities
forVMware Infrastructureenvironments
with tested storage and server systems for virtualised
applications.
EMC has integrated its applications with VMware to support best
practices for Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Exchange 2007,
Oracle 10g and 11g, and SAP.
As part of the extended support, EMC has defined optimised
application and storage system configurations, assured
interoperability and fully documented complete deployment best
practices for these platforms in advanced VMware
infrastructures.
EMC said these applications have been tested and documented at
broad workloads in VMware Infrastructure 3.5 environments to enable
deployments that meet customer expectations for application-level
performance, backup and recovery, remote replication, high
availability and manageability.
As a result, said EMC, joint EMC and VMware customers can more
rapidly achieve the cost-reduction and flexibility of VMware
environments in less time and with less effort.
