VMware reduces operating expenses according to new research

VMware on Monday announced research that shows VMware customers have lowered data center operating expenses (OPEX) with VMware solutions. ‘Reducing OpEx with Virtualization and Virtual Systems Management,’ a whitepaper prepared by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) for VMware, quantifies how customers have been able to reduce service failures, improve staff efficiency, speed up service deployment and reduce facility operation costs using VMware software. Customers reported the elimination of up to 43 hours of downtime per year, improved staff efficiency by an average of 10, rapid deployment of new systems reduced wage costs by $2,000 per deployment and 16% reduction in floor space and energy costs.
