1) The document discusses a virtualization management platform called FabricServer that automates the provisioning and configuration of virtual machines and applications. 2) FabricServer detects when a new virtual machine is needed, instructs VMware to create it, then provisions the application platform and runtime within the new virtual machine. 3) It provides a simplified process compared to manually installing operating systems, application servers, applications and configuring profiles. The platform captures configuration details in templates that can then be deployed dynamically as needed.

- 5. 5 Simplify Configuration andDeployment Centralize and automate complex configuration management of application platforms - Application platforms have complex system architectures that require complex configuration management Just-in-time Repurpose Virtual Machines - Repurposes VMs just-in-time, for whatever application platforms are needed Benefit Metrics: Build only templates, not virtual machines: 70% less effort in virtual machine management Only backup templates: not virtual machine snapshots: 70% less backup storage needed Stop configuring application platforms in dedicated VMs: 30% fewer virtual machines active any one time 30% less expensive SAN/SCSI storage and fewer servers Plus you get: Better service levels Physical and virtual infrastructure used simultaneously

- 7. 7 Value Proposition forVMware Customers Time to Deploy Challenge: Provisioning and configuration of enterprise applications is complex, inconsistent and slow, typically taking anywhere from 1 to 30 days, per setup Weeks Minutes Value Proposition: DASM supports automatic provisioning and configuration of an enterprise application tier in minutes, with absolute consistency Server Utilization App Silos Clouds Challenge: Every application project requires its own resource pool, which wastes money, delays routine activities and stifles innovation Value Proposition: DASM enables multiple application projects to use common resource pools of physical and virtual infrastructure Performance / QOS Challenge: Ad-hoc approach to service management makes it very difficult to dynamically respond to changing demand and resource availability Value Proposition: DASM integrates service management with provisioning, configuration and runtime control, to dynamically respond to changing demand and resource availability Always Responsive Always Available
