VMware DRS

Dynamically Allocate System Resources

Align your IT infrastructure with your business goals by dynamically allocating and balancing computing resources with VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). VMware DRS continuously monitors utilization across resource pools and intelligently allocates available resources among the virtual machines based on pre-defined rules that reflect business needs and changing priorities. When virtual machine resources are constrained, additional capacity is made available by migrating live virtual machines to a different physical server using VMware VMotion.

Align Resources to Meet Your Business Needs

VMware DRS continuously monitors utilization across resource pools and intelligently aligns resources with business needs, enabling you to:

Dynamically allocate IT resources to the highest priority applications. Create rules and policies to prioritize how resources are allocated to virtual machines.
Give IT autonomy to business organizations. Provide dedicated IT infrastructure to business units while still achieving higher hardware utilization through resource pooling.
Empower business units to build and manage virtual machines within their resource pool while giving central IT control over hardware resources.

Balance Your Computing Capacity

VMware DRS continuously balances computing capacity in resource pools to deliver the performance, scalability and availability not possible with physical infrastructure. VMware DRS allows you to:

Improve service levels for all applications. VMware DRS continuously balance capacity will ensure that each virtual machine has access to appropriate resources at any point in time.
Easily deploy new capacity. VMware DRS will seamlessly take advantage of the additional capacity of new servers added to a resource pool by redistributing virtual machines without system disruption.
Automate planned server maintenance. VMware DRS can automatically migrate all virtual machines off physical servers to enable scheduled server maintenance with zero downtime.
Dramatically increase system administrator productivity. Enable system administrators to monitor and effectively manage more IT infrastructure.

VMware DRS is included in VMware Infrastructure Enterprise Edition and can be purchased as an add-on product to the Standard and Starter editions. Find out more about the VMware Infrastructure editions.
