Logical representation of resources not constrained by
physical limitations
• Create many virtual resources within single physical device
• Reach beyond the box – see and manage many virtual
resources as one
• Dynamically change and adjust across the infrastructure
IBM Virtualization Engine
A comprehensive platform to
help virtualize the infrastructure
What is Virtualization?
Virtualization Scope
Single SystemCommon hardware; multiple OS; partitions; virtual I/O and networks
Extended SystemHeterogeneous servers, storage and networks; application-based Grids and networks
Extended EnterpriseInter- and Intra-enterprise Grids and Global Fabrics
Reduce costs
Simplify IT infrastructure & admin
Increase server utilization
Increase scalability of infrastructure
Enhance resilience & reliability
Improve flexibility to business goals and cycles
Improve app performance
Automate IT operations
Accelerate App Development & deployment
Have a single view on the IT environment
Manage a heterogeneous server environment
Manage a heterogeneous storage environment
What apps on what servers. How they relate.
