Relative CPU Utilization

Low x86 Utilization…Becoming Even Lower (i.e. Multicore)

Increased complexity and inefficiency!

VMware Technology Overview

Old Model:Traditional x86 Architecture

• Single OS image per machine

• Software and hardware tightly coupled

• Multiple applications often conflict

• Underutilized resources introduce real cost into the infrastructure

6Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

VMware Technology Overview

• Separate OS and hardware – break hardware dependencies

• Manage OS and application as single unit by encapsulating them into VMs

• Strong fault and security isolation

• Standard, HW independent environments can be provisioned anywhere

• Flexibility to chose the right OS for the right application

New Model:VMware Technology

7Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

Encapsulation

• Server provisioning is similar to copying a file

• Server migration is now similar to data migration

• Data management techniques can be used for server management

• Server cloning/copying• Versioning• Server archival• Remote mirroring

Entire server – OS, apps, data, devices, and state – is now

simply a file.

Hardware Independent

A Virtual Machines always sees the same set of hardware, independent of the physical hardware.

• Can be moved to different hardware, without any change.

• From Laptop to desktop to high-end Server

•Easy for:

• Provisioning new machines

• Disaster Recovery

• Scaling

9Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

Enables You to:• Dynamically map computing resources

to the business

• Lower IT costs through increased efficiency, flexibility and responsiveness

• Provision new services and change the amount of resources dedicated to a software service

• Treat your data center as a single pool of processing, storage and networking power

13Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

ESX Server – Resource Management

VMware ESX Server can manage all resources given to Virtual Machines

• You can give hard guarantees to Production VMs

• Relative and Absolute settings

14Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

ESX Server - VMware File System

VMware ESX Server uses an unique SAN-Aware file system that allows the sharing of one LUN to many physical servers at the same time.

•You can access the Virtual Machine files from any ESX Server connected to the SAN.

•Central Storage of Template Files

15Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

Centralized Management with VirtualCenter

• Provision and boot virtual machines

Key Solutions for

Virtualization

18Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

Key Leverage Points

Server Consolidation and Containment – Virtualize and consolidate existing workloads, increasing utilization rates and lowering operating costs

Test and Development – Rapidly provision and re-provision test and development servers; store libraries of pre-configured test machines

Enterprise Desktop – Provision standardized PC environments to remote and guest workers and ensure safe access to enterprise resources

Business Continuity – Improve recovery times by storing copies of production servers as hardware-independent virtual machines

Key Issues in Test and Development

• Cost• Limited hardware budgets

• High personnel costs

• Increasing diversity of target environments

• Efficiency• Ever-increasing hardware requirements

• Single application per server causes server sprawl

• Flexibility• Difficult handoffs between developers and testers

• Rapid deployment is elusive

• High rates of configuration change

21Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

Virtual Infrastructure Solution: Managing Complexity of Environments

• Archive virtual machines for use and re-use

• Can run VM’s on any hardware• Zero configuration time

Libraries and Test Banks of Virtual Machines

Simulate Complex Environments

• Recreate multi-tier environments on single system

• Reduce hardware requirements

22Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

Virtualization Benefits for Test and Development

• Lower Cost• Need less hardware because multiple environments run on each

machine

• Higher Efficiency• Quickly create virtual machines

• Share systems and configuration easily

• Greater Flexibility• Simpler to configure and reconfigure complex environments

Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

Server Consolidation and Containment

24Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.

Server consolidation• Implement as project with dedicated

hardware and budget

Server containment• Create virtual machines instead of

provisioning new hardware

• Reduces future hardware needs

Reducing Server Sprawl with VMware

Virtual infrastructure provides a managed approach to regain control over x86-based server sprawl
