Traditional Intel Architecture
Intel Architecture with VMware
Virtual machines are the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine
Virtualized Hardware
Virtualization as a Resource Multiplier
4-way Server
6GB Memory
Run up to 32 Virtual
Machines !
Allocate up to 12 GB Virtual
Machine Memory !
Physical Virtualized
All physical resources are shared by virtual machines resulting in a resource multiplier effect
2 HBAs (paired)
2 NICs (paired)
Create and allocate up to 32 Virtual Disks !
Create and allocate up to 16 Virtual NICs !
Physical Virtualized
• Runs directly on hardware
• Manages resource allocations
• Strong fault and security isolation
• High performance device drivers
“Hostless” Architecture - ESX Server
Products like Windows Virtual Server and VMware Server (Free) are hosted virtualization architectures. Rely on a host OS like Windows or Linux
Resource Pools
Aggregate collections of disparate hardware resources into unified logical resource pools
• Customer Impact
• Failed server mean less resources
not a failed application
• Dedicated (virtual) infrastructure for
each business unit; central IT
retains control over hardware
• Delegation of resource and virtual
machine management down to the
business unit
• Management of an entire SOA
application stack as a single entityServers, Storage, Networking

Live Migration Of Virtual Machines with VMotion
•What is it?• Live migration of virtual machines with VMware VMotion
•Customer Impact• Zero downtime
• Continuous service availability
• Complete transaction integrity
• Supported on Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN and NAS
VMotion - How Does it Work?
• VMware’s clustered Virtual
Machine File System (VMFS)
allows multiple installations of
ESX Server to access the same
virtual machine files concurrently.
• Second, the active memory and
precise execution state of the
virtual machine is rapidly
transferred over a high speed
network, allowing the virtual
machine to instantaneously
switch from running on the
source ESX Server to the
destination ESX Server.
Resource Optimization with VMware DRS
• What is it?
• Dynamic balancing of computing resources across resource pools
• Intelligent resource allocation based on pre-defined rules
• Customer Impact
• Align IT resources with business priorities
• Operational simplicity; dramatically increase system administrator productivity
• Add hardware dynamically to avoid over-provisioning to peak load
• Automate hardware maintenance
Dynamic and intelligent allocation of hardware resources to ensure optimal alignment between business and IT

Business Demand
Capacity on Demand with VMware DRS
•Provisioning is “fire and forget”
•Easily add more capacity
•Avoid over-provisioning to peak load

Ensure High availability with VMware HA
• What is it?• Automatic restart of virtual
machines in case of server failure
• Customer Impact• Cost effective high availability for
all applications
• No need for dedicated stand-by hardware
• None of the cost and complexity of clustering
VMware HA enables cost-effective high availability for all applications

Unparalleled Memory Management
Transparent Page Sharing
Memory ballooning
• RAM Over-Commitment• VMware memory management technology
allows an average of 2:1 memory over
commit (and oftentimes greater)
• 8GB physical memory can be 16GB of
virtual memory.
• Transparent Page Sharing• Utilize available memory more efficiently
by storing memory pages identical across
multiple virtual machines only once.
Host System Memory is usually the bottleneck

VMware Infrastructure – Key Solutions / Use Cases
Server Consolidation and Containment – Eliminate server sprawl by deploying systems into virtual machines
Test and Development – Rapidly provision and re-provision test and development servers; store libraries of pre-configured test machines
Enterprise Desktop – Secure unmanaged PCs. Alternatively, provide standardized enterprise desktop environments hosted on servers.
Business Continuity – Reduce the cost and complexity of business continuity by encapsulating entire systems files that can be replicated and restored onto any target server
Infrastructure Provisioning – Reduce the time for provisioning new infrastructure to minutes with sophisticated automation capabilities.
Legacy Application Re-hosting – Migrate legacy operating systems and software applications to virtual machines running on new hardware for better reliability

Relative CPU Utilization
Low x86 Utilization…Becoming Even Lower (i.e. Multicore)
• Dramatic increases in dedicated, under-utilized IT assets• Management of servers is costly and complex• Inflexibility makes it hard to meet business needs
Evolution of Server Computing
Enterprise Workloads
• 16 GB RAM
• Up to 4 virtual CPUs
• Support for powerful physical servers with up to 32 logical CPU and 64 GB RAM
Run the most resource intensive enterprise applications such as databases, CRM and ERP applications in virtual machines
Proven in Production
85% of VMware customers use server virtualization in production1
43% set virtualization as a default policy for most new production servers1
49% of VMware customers have deployed VMotion live migration in
production1
VMware: Fully proven in real-world production deployments

333 servers replaced per yearappr. 10,000 man/hrs saved
From 20-40 hrs to build a server and re-load application…
1. Build and configure hardware
2. Load operating system
3. Load configuration tools (Backup, Resource Kit, Monitoring, etc…)
4. Assign 2 IP addresses
5. Build 3 network connections, copper or fiber
6. Turn over to applications team to re-load and re-configure software
7. Test applications
8. Coordinate outage / data migration
…To 15-30 min to copy a virtual machine and restart
1. Redirect virtual disk to new VMware virtual machine instance[Tools already loaded][Application already loaded, configured]
2. Done
