MANAGE YOUR MIXED VIRTUAL AND PHYSICAL IT INFRASTRUCTURE

Virtualization allows you to deploy new mission-critical applications more quickly, optimise data centre resources, and adapt your IT environment to changing business conditions. But how do you manage the added complexity of mixed physical and virtual environments—without increasing costs or negatively impacting service levels?

Symantec and VMware answer this crucial question with a

comprehensive, end-to-end management platform that allows you to discover, provision, manage, and monitor your entire physical and virtual VMware environment intelligently from a single console. This approach keeps complexity low and service levels high by erasing the boundaries between physical and

virtual systems and providing a unified framework for managing all of your IT assets.

IMPROVE AVAILABILITY AND BOOST SERVICE LEVELS

Virtual environments open the door to improved availability, higher service levels, and increased efficiency—by making applications more mobile and less dependent on their underlying physical server hardware.

Together, Symantec and VMware deliver high availability and disaster recovery solutions that are designed specifically to monitor mission-critical applications and protect data in virtual environments. With Symantec and VMware, you get comprehensive failover, data protection, and storage management for both your virtual machine containers and all of the operating systems and applications running inside them. You gain a single, unified IT services view of your whole environment. And you increase your visibility

Boost Your IT Service Levels

Symantec and VMware can help improve availability and increase IT service levels in virtualized environments by:

• Offering deeper visibility into the critical dependencies between applications and infrastructures.

• Improving the manageability of virtualization platforms and the applications that run on them.

• Protecting data and managing storage across physical and virtual boundaries.

• Providing a more complete and unified view of IT service levels in mixed virtual and physical environments.

into the complex interactions and interdependencies between virtualized platforms and the applications that run on them.

These high availability and disaster recovery solutions give you the ability to monitor all the complexities and nuances of virtual environments, identify problems early, assess their real business impact, and take appropriate action quickly.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MIXED STORAGE ENVIRONMENTS

Virtualizing your enterprise storage can lower costs and boost utilisation, but virtualized storage also introduces new layers of logical connections. These connections extend the capabilities of your file systems, but they can also introduce new management silos to your storage infrastructure.

Symantec and VMware provide many of the tools you need to manage these complex storage systems—including virtualized storage—more efficiently and cost effectively. This starts with the ability to seamlessly manage and support all your UNIX, LINUX, and Windows file systems from a single location. Storage solutions from Symantec and VMware also simplify the logical relationships between physical servers and storage units and allow you to create, move and manage abstracted LUNs without creating yet another management silo. Finally, Symantec and VMware offer innovative storage resource management solutions that make it possible to monitor, track, and quantify all the complex storage consumption that takes place across heterogeneous virtual and physical systems.

Together, these joint storage management solutions allow you to simultaneously capitalise on all the benefits and advantages of virtualized storage and eliminate the challenges of managing today’s

diverse, complex, and mixed storage environments.

MANAGE AND CONTROL YOUR STORAGE GROWTH

Uncontrolled data growth presents significant challenges for every IT organisation—whether you rely on physical storage, virtualized storage, or a mix of both. How can you escape from an expensive “never delete anything” mentality without running the risk of violating data retention policies and regulations? How do you make sure you can retrieve archived information quickly when you need it, especially in highly virtualized SAN environments? And how do you eliminate the expensive, time consuming, and inefficient practice of repeatedly backing up duplicate information?

Symantec and VMware are ready to answer all of these difficult questions with a complete information management platform that specialises in discovering, managing, and protecting all your structured and unstructured data. These solutions leverage VMware APIs to maximise server utilisation in virtualized environments, accelerate recovery times, and aggressively eliminate duplicate data with advanced deduplication technology.

ENFORCE UNIFIED SECURITY AND DATA LOSS PREVENTION POLICIES

Every IT organisation is working to reduce the growing cost and complexity of securing and protecting today’s diverse IT environments. But how do you create and enforce unified, effective security policies across hundreds of applications and systems—as well as the underlying physical and virtual infrastructure that supports them? All too often, organisations resort to a patchwork of fragmented, disconnected tools and policies that are difficult and expensive to maintain.

Symantec and VMware change this inefficient paradigm with a single, unified approach for securing and protecting a complete range of applications and operating systems running on physical hardware and VMware virtual machines. This starts with the ability to extend all the capabilities of Symantec Endpoint Protection to virtual environments. Next, the Symantec Brightmail™

Gateway Virtual Edition provides complete inbound and outbound security for virtualized messaging environments, including antispam and antivirus protection, advanced content filtering, and data loss prevention. And of course, these advanced security capabilities can run on either physical appliances or VMware-certified virtual appliances.

These solutions work together to protect your information and infrastructure, safeguard your brand and reputation, and reduce the costs and complexity of securing all your physical and virtual systems and applications.

With Symantec and VMware, you can:

• Protect your data completely with backup and archiving solutions designed for virtualized storage systems.

• Deduplicate everywhere to eliminate redundant data and keep backed up information closer to its source.

• Delete unneeded data confidently without putting your organisation at risk.

• Discover data efficiently to keep your organisation safe and compliant with data retention policies and regulations.

Symantec and VMware are standing by to help you manage, protect, and control every aspect of your mixed physical and virtual infrastructure. Contact your local Symantec or VMware reseller for more information. And explore a new family of joint solutions that can help your IT organisation say “Yes” more often and with more confidence.
