• Consolidation means that various applications and operating systems can be supported on a single physical system
• Servers can be consolidated to form virtual machines using scale-up or scale-out architecture 
• Data processing resources are treated as a uniform pool to which virtual machines can be allocated while retaining complete control
• Thanks to isolation, the virtual machines are completely detached from the server machine and other virtual machines. If one virtual machine should crash, the others remain unaffected
• Data is not communicated from one virtual machine to another, and applications can only communicate with one another via configured network connections
• Thanks to encapsulation, the entire virtual machine environment is stored in a single file that can be saved, moved and copied with ease 
• Standardized virtual hardware is available for applications and ensures compatibility

• “Proof of Concept“: To support substantiated decision-making, alternative virtualization concepts are assessed in an on-site test environment, e.g. in the PLM and EIM environment
• Migration projects: Conceptualization, implementation, testing and start-up – all cost-effective thanks to virtualization with VMware
• Capacity planning and evaluation of a virtualization on the basis of actual capacity rates, along with itemization and cost calculation of required hardware as well as expected ROI und TCO
• “VI3 Health Check“ of the existing infrastructure and development of concepts for an optimal VMware infrastructure 
• Wide range of workshops on topics such as:
• VMware Infrastructure Workshop: Theory and practice of virtualization and migration of IT infrastructure using VMware
• Business Continuity Workshop on downtime-proof business processes
• Lab Manager Workshop on reducing costs in testing and development environments
• Stage Manager Workshop on opportunities for simplifying complex and time-intensive release management processes

• Increased data security thanks to VDI technology (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
• New methods make high availability (HA) and disaster recovery user-friendly and affordable
• Data security thanks to centralized data filing in the datacenter
• Profound SAP know-how as a software development partner and Special Expertise Partner of SAP for over 10 years, including outstanding know-how in the field of SAP virtualization
• Cost-effective and secure IT environment thanks to Thin Clients

CENIT is not only a successful distribution partner for VMware but also a Gold Status VAC Partner (VMware Authorized Partner) and VIP Enterprise Partner (VMware Infrastructure Partner).

VAC partner status is only granted partners that have proven expert technical know-how. Through the CAV partnership, our systems engineers have access to high-level material and are involved into the arly test- and beta phases of new VMWare products and solutions.

SAP Community: CENIT is one of only 20 VMware partners world wide, who offers VMware for SAP.
