Server Virtualization with EMC Storage

VMware Virtualization Basics

Software tied to hardwareSingle OS image per machineOne application workload per OSInflexible, costly infrastructure

Before Virtualization: After Virtualization:

Virtualization Layer is a software abstraction that allows operating systems and applications to run on virtual hardware that is distinct from the physical hardware

Key Properties of Virtual Machines

PartitioningRun multiple operating systems on one physical machineDivide system resources between virtual machines


IsolationFault and security isolation at the hardware levelAdvanced resource controls preserve performance



EncapsulationEntire state of the virtual machine can be saved to filesMove and copy virtual machines as easily as moving and copying files




Hardware-IndependenceProvision or migrate any virtual machine to any similar or different physical server

VMware Lowers Cost of Clustering

Cluster-in-a-boxProtects against operator error, application and operating system crashes

Cluster-across-boxesProtects against operator error, application and operating system crashes, and hardware failure

Cluster between physical and virtual machinesLow-cost N+1 redundancy with a great reduction in hardware requiredUse MSCS clustering for automated failover between physical and virtual machines

Options for Disaster Recovery

Physical to PhysicalToday’s scenario without virtual infrastructureRequires identical disaster recovery site

Physical to VirtualReduces cost, improves time to recovery, and increases flexibility

Virtual to VirtualGreatest flexibility, lowest cost, best time to recovery

Result: 16.5 minutes to failover!

Disaster Recovery Customer Scenario #1

Disaster Recovery Customer Scenario #2

Multiple physical machines to access the same storage

Multiple ESX Servers see the same VMFS volumes to provide:

Workload balancing via easy VM relocationHigh availability using clustered applicationsRapid provisioning using a Template Repository

Native MPIO multipathing support provides I/O-channel redundancy

Maintains VM access to virtual disk files in case of HBA or SAN-path failure

Combining ESX Server with Storage Area Networks

SAN-based Boot Support for ESX Server

Advantages of booting ESX Server off the SAN:

Improved availability—Boot device protected on networked storageImproved flexibility—Servers can be easily replaced in case of failuresReduced complexity—Leverage best practices for backup and restore

Local Replication with ESX Server

Physical-to-VirtualReduce total cost of ownership by consolidating backup servers onto one ESX Server

– Virtual Machines on the backup / mount ESX Server can access the replicas to back up application data

– Supported for application data and RDMs Production servers
