agenda

Everyone has virtualization, but some are better than others1

A lifecycle model for building virtualization maturity2

Management ‘tipping points’, and other barriers to success3

Actionable approaches to build virtualization maturity4

CA Technologies Solutions, Summary, Q&A, Wrap-up5


the outstanding promise of virtualization

Virtualization can deliver substantial ROI, greater agility, improved continuity, and other business values

Continuity Hardware redundancy, site recovery, live migration

Agility Fast IT support for business innovation, transformation

Hardware consolidation, power, rent, cooling, downtimeROI


Presenter

Presentation Notes

‘Outstanding’ in two senses – fantastic, but also undelivered.

2008 • 75% of enterprises using virtualization in production

2009 • 76% of global CIOs undergoing or planning virtualization

2010 • 90% of businesses have implemented server virtualization

so everyone is deploying virtualisation – in part


Presenter

Presentation Notes

The IBM Global CIO Study 2009 in September showed 76% of 2500 global CIOs are undergoing or planning virtualisation projects The Gartner 2010 CIO Survey in January reported that virtualisation is the top priority for over 1500 global CIOs (up from number 3 the previous year). In January, CDW’s Server Virtualisation Life Cycle Report found 90% of respondents have implemented server virtualisation at some level. In 2008, EMA research showed 75% of enterprises were using virtualisation for production use cases Prism Microsystems report states that 85% of their sample have adopted virtualisation to some degree

2008 • 75% of enterprises using virtualisation in production

2009 • 76% of global CIOs undergoing or planning virtualisation

2010 • 90% of businesses have implemented server virtualisation

so everyone is deploying virtualisation – in part

Virtualization is now the top priority for most global CIOs(up from number 3 the previous year)

virtualization maturity lifecycle – best practice deployment


Presenter

Presentation Notes

Synthesis of ideas from multiple customers, analysts, and strategists within CA Best practice we see in virtualization deployments follows a maturity curve

Larger deployments

More dynamic infrastructure

More difficult to control

Growing production

More critical applications

Pressure on staff & skills

Increasing LOB visibility

but virtualization maturity is not all clear sailing

Additional challenges at every stage of the virtualization lifecycle

virtualization management tipping points

STOP STOP STOP

virtualization maturity challenges can lead to “VM Stall”

‘VM Stall’ – inability to overcome ‘tipping points’ needed to move the needle on virtualization maturity


— 15-25% of workloads running in virtual servers (various analysts)

— 34% of total server infrastructure are virtual servers (CDW)

— 38% of mission-critical business services are virtualized (CIO.com)

— 30% of servers are virtualized on average (CA Technologies)

the growing concern of ‘VM stall’

CIOs report a persistent difficulty in expanding virtualization deployments


— Maximum benefit from virtualization is unrealised

— Failure to leverage virtualization investments

— Cannot compete with more agile businesses

— Leaving money (and other benefits) on the table

so … what’s the big deal?

Inability to expand virtualization maturity is not just an academic issue


functional capabilities to overcome ‘VM stall’

ControlOf deployments, licences, facilities, service requests, etc.

Expand tier 1 apps, reduce costs, with existing staff

VisibilityDiscovery, security, configuration, capacity, response, SLAs

Align performance, security, compliance with business policy

AutomationRapid provisioning, configuration, remediation, self-service

Reduce skill burden, improve audit, reduce errors, add security

AssuranceMeet response, continuity, experience, & uptime SLAs

Build LOB trust, compliance, satisfaction, and approval


visibility

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Handover to Andi to show the detail of how to gain visibility, control, assurance, and automation Going to use screens and designs from CA products to demonstrate how these capabilities can help build virtualization maturity Same principles should apply, if perhaps differently, to other vendors’ products too.

discover & record virtualization deployments


deep discovery and visibility into hosts and guests


Tracking of the virtual machine to the host

Applications installed on the virtual machines

not just systems, but applications …


… plus databases, middleware, networks, storage, security, etc.


… with deep and definable discovery, collection


… with relationship mapping between configuration items …

Virtual system to physical parent system

relationship

Detailed relationship information


… to create detailed inventory and differences records

Detailed inventory of virtual systems and their

configurations


… while keeping up on resource utilization …


through easy-to-use visualization & topology maps


control

take control of replication, migration, & continuity


centralize control from a common dashboard


integrated dashboards ease skill requirements & burdens

Get all the information you need in one dashboard

Select to drilldown and take actionCopyright 2010, CA Technologies

beyond migration & monitoring – start taking action


flexibility to support multiple administrator skills, depts.


assurance

Performance views of ESX hosts and Virtual Machines

Visibility into application traffic responsiveness

across ESX hosts

rich performance visibility, applications, traffic, response


track performance, highlight events, trace incidents

Context sensitive launch from topology map to rich

performance dataCopyright 2010, CA Technologies

identify symptoms, track root causes, take rapid action

Alarms show high CPU utilization and

degraded performance

Single root cause alarm speeds triage, improves

“signal-to-noise”

Embedded expert advice, allows rapid remediation,

problem preventionCopyright 2010, CA Technologies

assurance – not just historical, but real-time analysis


automation

repeatable provisioning with reusable VM templates


deliver user control over resource needs, expose real costs

Dynamically change configurations


scheduled deprovisioning prevents VM sprawl too!


build repeatable processes with standardized packages


Discover servers & applications & group them into Services

automate maintenance too e.g. compliance & policy checks

Schedule recurring tasks like discovery, refresh, change

detection, compliance checks

Include Compliance Policy control sets in scheduled

management profiles


automate remediation, not just monitoring/alerting


even automate assurance with IT process automation


• User Info (email, project ID) • Time (start & finish date)• Type (physical, virtual)•Template (name)• Server specifications (S, M, L, XL)• Apps to be installed (IIS, App , DB )• Service Level (gold, silver, bronze)

and build maturity toward a dynamic, self-service data center
