VMware has announced that its virtualization and management suite, VMware Infrastructure 3, continues to enhance its status as one of the premier platforms for running Microsoft Exchange, with the Interfaith Medical Center of New York City, medical device manufacturer NuVasive, Ohio Mutual Insurance Group, the University of Plymouth in the U.K., Marvell Technology Group Ltd., and the Rochester General Hospital system joining an ever-growing list of organizations that have turned to VMware to optimize their Exchange environments.
Exchange customers are migrating to the VMware platform as virtualization becomes a core component of mainstream IT environments, and IT organizations seek to deliver their applications as dynamic services, while cutting costs. Microsoft Exchange is a commonly virtualized application and is supported by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP). VMware ESX was the first hypervisor to be certified under the program, providing VMware customers with access to support services directly from Microsoft.
50,000 Mailboxes at U.K. University
One example of a large Microsoft Exchange deployment on VMware is at the University of Plymouth in the U.K. The university has virtualized 50,000 Exchange 2007 mailboxes on VMware Infrastructure, giving the university a more manageable and flexible Exchange environment, while taking advantage of VMware's unique high-availability tools, such as VMware HA and VMotion technologies.
VMware Choice Backed by Successful Exchange Deployment on VMware
After considering other competitor products, Marvell Technology Group Ltd. selected the VMware platform as the foundation for its virtual infrastructure, based on 1) VMware's proven track record of success in production datacenters, and 2) its ability to meet all existing virtualization requirements. As an example of their trust of VMware solutions, Marvell deployed a brand new Exchange 2007 infrastructure on the VMware infrastructure, equipped with VMware tools like VMware HA and VMware DRS. Marvell is currently in the process of migrating all 6,000 mailboxes to this new infrastructure.
