VMware Benefits

Introduction to VMware

Before talking about the VMware benefits, let’s see what VMware is all about. So it is an American multinational company that was the first to virtualize the x86 architecture successfully. This company, VMware, is headquartered based in California, and its desktop software runs on many different operating systems like macOS, Windows, and Linux; this company provides us with various products that can be used for different purposes.

This software helps us in various domains like security, storage, networking, etc. VMware provides us with various software and products that can be used for different benefits; here, we will see the various benefits of using that product and software for better understanding and usage.

Various VMware Benefits

As we already know, VMware has many benefits, which can be understood by the various product it provides, which adds great help to security networking, storage, and many more areas.

1. Provides virtual desktop infrastructure

One of the benefits of using this is we can use the desktop from anywhere we want. From this, we do not require a full desktop setup in the workplace; we can use VMware Horizon, which allows us to manage and run the Windows desktop from VMware Cloud or AWS. This removes a lot of things for us, like we do not require to manage and set up the full desktop at the workplace. Also, it helps reduce the monitoring and managing of user security and centralizes management. We can use this with two more VMware products, Dynamic Environment Manager and App Volumes, which help us in application delivery and managing the Windows desktop.

2. Provide personal desktop

VMware created this as their first product, enabling users to run or manage virtual machines directly on a single Linux, Windows, or laptop. Using this, we can have a virtual machine inside the physical machine, which can run without causing any issues; in short, it can run parallel or simultaneously. If we talk about virtual machines, they have operating systems such as Linux or Windows. With this, we can even run Windows on the Linux machine and vice versa without worrying about the installed operating system on the machine. The product name VM Workstation enables us to run the virtual machine in the machine; for Mac computers, we have VM Fusion.

3. Provide storage and availability

VMs provide us with one more product that helps us in the storage and availability part, which is known as vSAN; it gives us the software-based storage for us, but it is integrated with another VMs product named as vSphere, which will pool out the disk storage for us from the multiple ESXi and provide it via smart policy. It is also integrated with the vSphere availability and helps us to offer increased computing and also storage available as well.

4. Provide disaster recovery management

VMware benefits also include disaster recovery; for this, it provides us with the Site Recovery Manager, which helps us create the recovery plan, which will be executed automatically in the case of failure. The NSX further integrates with this system to maintain and preserve the security and network on the migrated VMs.

5. Provide the cloud infrastructure

For infrastructure, we have one product from VMware which is known as vSphere, which provide the following points:

  • vMotion
  • vSphere Client
  • ESXi
  • vCenter Server

6. Provide us SDDC platform

SDDC manager helps to integrate various software into a single platform, such as VMware NSX, vSphere, vSAN, etc. So for this, we have VMware cloud foundation, which is a software that helps to bundle this mentioned software by the use of the SDDC platform; now we can deploy this bundle on the private cloud or also have the option to run this bundle within as public cloud but as a service. Admin can do all these tasks; admin also has the provision to the application without the need for storage and network.

7. Provide network and security

For security and networking, it provides us one more product, or we can say software which helps us, and known as VMware NSX; with the help of this software, we can easily virtualize the network components, deploy them, develop them, and can do the configuration through the software rather than the hardware, which includes configuration of virtual network and switching, etc.

As seen above are the main benefits of VM, as we have already seen it provides us with many products which can be used for different purposes as per the need, one of the main things about doing things virtually without carrying the setup at the workplace.

Below are the key points that need to be kept in mind while using the VN product; they provide us with many benefits, but we also have some drawbacks that must be focused on.

  • One of the main disadvantages is the hardware compatibility which means not everything works well with the VM product sometimes; before using them, keep this thing in mind.
  • Also, there is a lack of support, which means we may encounter several bugs while using the VM product.
  • Not all things are free; the fees are very high for licensing.

Conclusion – VMware Benefits

As we have already seen so many benefits of VM in this article, we have also seen the different products that provide for different purposes; you can understand and start using them by the above explanation; we have many more things in VM.
