Many large enterprises are moving important applications from traditional physical servers to virtualized environments, such as VMware vSphere in order to take advantage of key benefits such as configuration flexibility, data and application mobility, and efficient use of IT resources.
Realizing these benefits with business critical applications, such as SQL Server or SAP can pose several challenges. Because these applications need high availability and disaster recovery protection, the move to a virtual environment can mean adding cost and complexity and limiting the use of important VMware features. This paper explains these challenges and highlights six key facts you should know about HA protection in VMware vSphere environments that can save you money.
While VMware Horizon provides a powerful virtualization platform, technologies and capabilities like Microsoft Windows, Active Directory, authentication, DNS, network, group policy, and third-party apps must work seamlessly to provide a great digital employee experience. This eBook will focus on improving the logon duration for EUC and VDI deployments.

Discover the Essential Guide to VMware Migration
Transitioning from VMware to VergeOS requires careful planning to minimize disruption. Our guide provides a structured process for a smooth migration:Key Sections of the Guide1. Evaluation of Alternatives - Research and Trial: Identify and test virtualization solutions for performance, compatibility, features, and support. - Cost-Benefit Analysis: Compare costs and calculate ROI to evaluate benefits over VMware.2. Planning the Migration - Detailed Plan: Outline timelines, resource allocation, and risk management. - Infrastructure Preparation: Ensure hardware and network compatibility
3. Execution and Post-Migration - Pilot Migration: Start with non-critical systems to test the process. - Full-Scale Migration: Schedule during low-usage periods, back up data, and execute the migration. - Post-Migration Testing: Verify functional and performance standards in the new environment.4. Phased Migration Process- Backup/DR: Use VergeOS for cost-effective backup and disaster recovery of the VMware environment.- NAS Replacement: Replace Network Attached Storage with VergeOS.- Testing: Test workloads for compatibility and performance.- Conversion: Incrementally convert virtual machines, starting with low-priority workloads.Download the full guide now to optimize your virtualization strategy.

There are many misconceptions about data deduplication, and making decisions based on those misconceptions can produce undesirable (and unplanned) results. For instance, deployment of the wrong type of deduplication typically results in:
• Excessively high disk usage and using as much as three times the bandwidth for offsite replication, and the resulting impact on short and long-term costs• Slower backup storage ingest due to inline compute-intensive data deduplication that greatly slows backups down and expands the backup window• Slower restores, VM boots, and tape copies that can take hours or even days due to the time-consuming rehydration of deduplicated data• Backup windows that continue to expand with data growthChoosing a Tiered Backup Storage solution will have a major impact on the cost and performance of your backup environment for the next three to five years because backups are written to a disk-cache Landing Zone for fastest backup performance, and then tiered to a deduplicated data repository to reduce storage and resulting storage costs.
