Unisys has expanded its relationship with VMware by agreeing to offer the enterprise-class suite of VMware virtual infrastructure products on its ES7000 Server portfolio. VMware virtual infrastructure products enable companies to implement large-scale production server consolidation, business continuity, and enterprise desktop solutions. The suite includes VMware ESX Server with Virtual SMP and VMware VirtualCenter with VMotion technology. In addition, Unisys will certify its ES7000 for use with VMware ESX Server.
VMware’s ESX Server allows the ES7000 to provide increased resource efficiency and faster provisioning, critical requirements to the implementation of real-time infrastructures which are becoming key to organisations running secure business operations.
The Unisys - VMware alliance began in 2001. In early 2003, Unisys began offering VMware GSX Server on both its ES3000 and ES7000 servers. Based on the successful use of VMware GSX Server with these server products, the companies have extended their alliance to include VMware ESX Server with Virtual SMP and VMware VirtualCenter with VMotion technology on 2- and 4-processor ES3000 servers.
