Why?
Lower Energy Costs#1#1
Costs $820 per server
# Servers x $820 = $ ???# of Servers/10 x $820 = $ ???
Subtract for Savings
or. . . . .
10 x $820 = $8200vs
Single Virtualized Server$820
Savings of $7380 per year!
Business Benefits
Space – Real Estate Savings
Server Room will always remain ??? Are you maxing out the space? Virtualization will make a more effective use of your space and
storage needs
Maintenance Costs 25 Servers = 1 Employee Job Security vs More Responsive Business Unit Provisioning a Server Provides More Competitive Business Environment

Business Benefits
Capital SavingsHow Many Applications do you increase by each year?
How Many do you Deny because of Budget Restrictions?
HardWare Costs $5K
Each Application Costs $5K in Hardware Alone
8 Applications each year? 8x5 $40,000 Hardware
1 Virtualized Server - Providing 8 Applications
Savings of $35,000
How much more competitive could you be?

#1 Objective For Virtualization
Top Five Objectives for VirtualizationUse virtualization to improve Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) 46%
Improve virtual machine performance 33%
Increase the server consolidation ratio 32%
Improve VM environment management 31%
More mission-critical applications 24%

Why Does Virtualization Matter to My Business?
Zero down-time failover of failed servers
Detects server failures and migrates the VM to a different physical server without human intervention
Typical downtimeper failure

Disaster Recovery
43% of companies experiencing disasters never re-open, and 29%
close within two years.(McGladrey and Pullen)
93% of business that lost their data center for 10 days went bankrupt
within one year.(National Archives & Records Administration)
(Harris Interactive)
Top executives say 10 hours to recovery; IT managers say up to 30
hours.(Harris Interactive)
Disasters Happen. Do You Need Protection?
Challenges of Current Plans:
Not Automated - Too Complex
Identical Hardware/Software & Configurations-Budget Restrictive
Difficult and Disruptive to Test
Run Book – Out of date
Disaster Recovery Plan
What is your Disaster Recover Plan?
vCenter Site Recovery ManagerSimple, reliable disaster
protection and site migration for all applications
VMware vSphere

VMwarevCenter Server
Site RecoveryManager
VMware vSphere
Site A (Primary) Site B (Recovery)
Servers Servers
Overview Site to site replication built into
vSphere Replace manual runbooks with
centralized recovery plans Broad support for storage-based
replication
Benefits Cost efficient replication solution Automate and simplify failover
and migration processes New plan setup reduced from
weeks to minutes Enable frequent non-disruptive
testing
vSphere Data Recovery
Overview Disk-based backup and recovery Deployed as a virtual machine
running on ESX or ESXi hosts Restore individual files or entire
images as needed
Benefits Easy to deploy virtual machine Speedy recovery of VMs Built in data de-duplication to save
significant disk space Eliminate complexity of managing
backup agents in every VM with vStorage APIs for Data Protection
Quick, simple and complete data protection for virtual
machines
Embracing Virtualization Kept Network Systems Safe when Disaster Struck
Customer Success Story
“The VMWare Virtualization solution kept our servers safe with “smart” consolidation in the face of a very real environmental threat. Our systems never went down and were ready for school the next morning.’Quannah McDnaiel, Computer Project Technician, Carroll County Public Schools
