What is driving thecontinued focus on virtualization?
• More powerful infrastructure: multi-core, SSD/SAS, 10 GbE
• Converged infrastructure
• Better virtualization management tools
• Alternatives to VMware
Technology trends
• Cost containment still #1 business priority
• Executive mandate on virtualization/cloud
• Business growth or geographic expansion
Business needs
• Continued digitization of our world
• Consolidation of providers of the IT stack
• Public cloud/ITaaS options & success from quality vendors
Industry drivers
1st time more applications 75% installed on virtual than physical servers1
75% pursuing a private cloud computing strategy by 20123

Why is virtualization so challenging?
Spending too much time & resourcesjust keeping this running
Virtualization breaks
from current
processes
Two-thirds of
organizations have
virtualized 50% or less
of their infrastructu
re129% say roadblock is lack of in-house installation or management skills1
Storage & backup, silos, SW licensing, complexity /costs, sizing & capacity management

Virtual Infrastructure: Do-It-Yourself Task List:
Phase Tasks
Change• Re-test and certify as any components change• Work across “silos” to grow the infrastructure in a balanced
way• Maintain change management across multiple elements
Configure• Coordinate the use of multiple tools and specialists• Troubleshooting and support across multiple sources/suppliers• Tweak/rebalance infrastructure to account for piecemeal
growth
Integrate
• Coordinate “racking and stacking” across multiple constituents
• Maintain consistency through mandates and governance• Convene server/storage/network/hypervisor experts for
configs
Procure• Manage multiple vendor relationships• Anticipate and account for long lead times to add capacity• Facilitate receipt and unpacking of discrete component
deliveries
Test• Ensure that components work together in fully supported
configs• Pilot any new configurations for sizing and planning purposes• Test new hypervisor features that require HW configuration
Design
• Design for balance between server, storage and network resources
• Align IT processes to accommodate rapid growth and convergence
• Take advantage of technologies that reduce operational costs
Driving unnecessary and non-differentiating costs and time

Users say, “I just want to run my workloads”
You can build the infrastructure
Or you can buy it pre-built and ready to run

Press on Dell vStart
Among the highlights of the news is vStart…vStart packs compute, storage, networking and management software into a single unit….. the goal is to give customers a product “ready to run” right out of the box with no complex assembly required
Dell offers prefabricated chunks-o-cloud Coming soon: Unboxing vids for clusters. Apparently By Timothy Prickett Morgan
Dell’s $1B Cloud Efforts Pit it Against Cisco and AmazonBy Derrick Harris
In theory, the pre-configured and pre-wired bundle sounds great to IT pros like Joe Foran, director of IT at FSW Inc., a nonprofit social services agency in Bridgeport, Conn.“I would love to just drop in a box, do some configuration work on it, and walk away,” Foran said. Heterogeneous, ‘best of breed’ systems are great “if you’re in a big company and have a lot of money to throw around and need top-of-the-line performance.” Most everyone else, meanwhile, can benefit from the simplified setup and management of a pre-configured bundle, he said.
Dell proposes vStart for fast VMware build outsBy Alex Barrett, News Director
Do you build your own PC from a box of parts when you order that PC from Dell? Of course not. So why should you have to build your own cluster when you want to do server virtualization on Dell PowerEdge servers?
