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


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


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


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

Virtual Infrastructure

Virtual infrastructure brings uniformity to your data center

VMware ESX Server

VMware ESX Server run native, being the main operating system, on the hardware.

Key benefits:

• Complete Control

• Resource Management

• Dedicated Virtualization Environment

• Memory Sharing

• Special SAN-Aware File System


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


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


Centralized Management with VirtualCenter

• Provision and boot virtual machines

• Monitor system availability and performance

• Automated notifications and email alerting

• Integrate SDK with existing management tools

• Secure the environment with robust access control

VMware VirtualCenter gives you total controlover a large-scale virtual infrastructure.


VMotion technology lets you move live, running virtual machines from one host to another while maintaining

continuous service availability.

VMotion™ Technology Changes The Game

| Continuous Optimization | Fast Reconfiguration || Zero-Downtime Maintenance |


Key Solutions for

Virtualization


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


Test and Development


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


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


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


Server Consolidation and Containment


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


Benefits of Consolidation with Virtual Infrastructure

Reduced TCO Enhanced Manageability

Increased Flexibility and Responsiveness

• Lower hardware costs

• Lower administrative costs

• Lower overhead costs for datacenter

• Ability to manage service levels

• Better capacity planning

• Workload management using VMotion

• Instant provisioning using VirtualCenter

• Ability to repurpose physical servers


Business Continuity


Business Continuity Solutions

• Challenges of business continuity:• Cost

• Complexity

• Reliability

• VMware virtual infrastructure addresses those challenges to enable:

• Less unplanned downtime

• Less planned downtime

• Improved disaster recovery

Virtual Infrastructure enables simpler, more cost-effective business continuity

Solutions for Reducing Unplanned Downtime:

• Redundancy• Support for redundant network and

storage connections

• Easily system redundancy using virtual machines

Clustering– Support for third-party clustering software– Support for clustering virtual machines

with virtual machines or with physical machines

Cluster across boxes

• Lowest-cost protection from hardware and software failures

• High availability with the most flexibility

• Ideal for testing cluster configuration


Benefits:

• Zero downtime for planned server maintenance

• Proactively migrate applications away from failing hardware

• Migrate workloads to maximize resource utilization

Reducing Planned Downtime with VMotion

VMotion technology lets you move running, stateful virtual machines from one physical system to another while maintaining

continuous service availability


Recovery with Shared Storage on SAN

• Hosting VMs on SAN increases system availability

• If for any reason hardware hosting virtual machines fails, VMs can be restarted on a different platform.

• The only downtime is time required for VM booting


Recovery with Shared Storage on SAN

• Hosting VMs on SAN increases system availability

• If for any reason hardware hosting virtual machines fails, VMs can be restarted on a different platform.

• The only downtime is time required for VM booting


• Speed recovery by using storage replication

• No need to upgrade secondary site server hardware in lock-step with the primary site

• Easy to automate and no need for bare metal recovery tools
