Virtualization Technology Overview

Old Model:Traditional x86 Architecture

• Single OS image per machine• Software and hardware tightly coupled

• Multiple applications often conflict

• Underutilized resources

Old model is challenging!

The Challenge

State of Infrastructure Today – Physical

Server Sprawl38 m physical servers by 2010 - 700% increase in 15 years

$140 bn in excess server capacity - a 3-year supply

Power & Cooling

50c for every $1 spent on servers

$29 bn in power and cooling industry wide

Operating Cost

$8 in maintenance for every $1 spent on new infrastructure

20-30 : 1 server-to-admin ratio

Space Crunch

$1,000 /sqft

$2,400 / server

$40,000 / rack

What is Virtualization?

VMware provides hardware virtualization that presents a complete x86 platform to the virtual machine

Allows multiple applications to run in isolation within virtual machines on the same physical machine

Virtualization provides direct access to the hardware resources to give you much greater performance than software emulation

Virtualization Increases Hardware Utilization

Before VMware

Virtualization enables consolidation of workloads from underutilized servers onto a single server

to safely achieve higher utilization

After VMware

Key Properties of Virtual Machines

•Partitioning

Run multiple operating systems on one physical machine

Divide system resources between virtual machines

•Partitioning

Run multiple operating systems on one physical machine

Divide system resources between virtual machines

Key Properties of Virtual Machines

•Isolation

Fault and security isolation at the hardware level

Advanced resource controls preserve performance

VMware VMotion

73% of VMware customers have implemented VMotion in production

• Live migration of virtual machines

• Zero downtime

VMware DRS

Resource Pool

Business Demand • Dynamic and intelligent allocation of hardware resources

• Ensure optimal alignment between business and IT

67% of VMware customers use DRS in production

Ensure High availability with VMware HA

Resource Pool

X• VMware HA

automatically restarts virtual machines when a physical server fails

22

Distributed Power Management (coming soon)

Resource Pool

Business Demand

Power Off

Consolidates workloads onto fewer servers when the cluster needs fewer resources

Places unneeded servers in standby mode

Brings servers back online as workload needs increase

NEW!

Minimize power consumption while guaranteeing service levels

23

Storage VMotion

Storage independent live migration of virtual machine disks

Zero downtime to virtual machines

LUN independent

Supported for Fibre channel SANs

NEW!

Storage VMotion minimizes planned downtime for storage

24

VMware Update Manager

Update Manager

Eliminates manual tracking of patch levels of ESX Server hosts and virtual machines

Automates enforcement of patch standards

Reduces risk through snapshots and offline virtual machine patching
