VMware and AMD

Innovative Architectural Design To Enhance Your Virtualization Experience

Through deep collaboration extending throughout our organizations, VMware and AMD are forging a best-in-class relationship between hardware and software that delivers robust virtualization solutions to support our customer’s business needs.

Virtualization has emerged as a key technological innovation that enables IT managers to build more productive, flexible, and scalable datacenters and at the same time reduce costs, increase availability, support new business initiatives, and adapt to rapidly changing requirements.

By basing your virtualization solutions on VMware Infrastructure software and multi-core AMD Opteron™ processor-based systems from Dell, Fujitsu Siemens, HP, IBM, Rackable, and Sun, you can significantly improve performance, reduce power consumption, increase utilization, and enhance security for your business critical resources.
